Just replaced my turbo; I was wondeirng if there is a "break-in period" before I can start driving it harder?

 

If a k03 k04 wait minimal 500 miles if you can go to 750-100 miles you'll be fine.

 

probably... Go easy on it for a couple hundered miles.

 

can you tell me what else you replaced besides the turbo like any components?

 

just read the posts man, youll find that the answers to most of your questions are very easy to find.
Timing belt and tensioner is updated/ common-tensioner breaks your engine breaks
control arms have been updated/common issue-clunky suspension noise
coil packs have been updated/common issue-missfires

 

Actually,turbos dont have a break in. Once oil has been full circulated your fine to drive it harder.

 

yeah, audiboy nailed it. Pull your fuel pump fuse out......then try to start the car for about five seconds, about ten times..wait in between as to not burn up your starter... that will allow oil to circulate through the turbo......might not be that important for a k03, but it is safe.

 

did you buy a new K03 [sm=jawdrop.gif]

 

yeah, its a new k03. my friend bought it and then decided to go with the k04 so he sold it to me for $300. SO, i drove the car home from the mechanics already, should I still do the fuse thing?

 

u needed to do that before u even turned the car on, otherwise u run a high chance of burning up the turbo
