Default should you run in a turbo?

does a re-coned turbo need running in? or can you just set boot to 1.5bar and away to go? cheers

When i had mine refurbed they told me to take it easy for the 1st 20 miles or so, anyway i kept it under 4k for about 5 minutes then nailed it and its still going strong 2 years later.

Can't see why you would, if its been built correctly they should test it before it gets sent back. As said just make sure its getting a good oil supply.
