Weren't you getting a rebuild? Wouldn't be driving it on boost untill it's bedded in :)

Yeah man, gotta run the engine in; the longer you run the engine in, the longer it will last...

I'd do at least 1000km on it ;)

[rotor7]

ay?? its just stock boost.... run no boost all all??? how do you disconnect turbo?? revs says its ok to drive as is.... he puts fuel cut at 5000 rpm....... say i can drive normally still.....??? im gana do what ever he say's is best so dont worry....all good :) im keen to go out still....for a nice cruse...nothing to hard...which is what i ment :) who evers keen tonight....?? justin

[capella re]

how do you disconnect the turbo???you don't disconnect turbo, thats impossible. you just use the throttle to the point where your boost guage stays as close to zero as possible (impossible to never use boost when running in but definately dont go flooring it)

take jasons advice first as he is your engine builder, but i would suggest

my advice would be
100-500km-don't go past 4000rpm
do hills driving after 100km to help bed in
500-1000km-don't rev over 5000rpm (medium throttle)
1000-1500km (medium throttle)
change rpm (using gears etc) do not sit at one constant rev (freeway drive)
do not baby or cane it either just normal free revs to wear in. after 1500km - 2000km you can start to increase harder driving

everyones different at what they'll tell you but i would definately go with what your engine builder has said before what i have said though

^ this, is the long version of what i'd have written

[rotor7]

yeah good advice hay...yeah i wont go over 4000rpm.... just driving as normal and low rpm as possible... with out boosting to much....seems to be going very well so far...... anyway only got it back late last night..... so might go out for a bit of a slow cruse around town today.......... it is sunday after all all the old grandpa's will probally blow me off :)

il chuck some pics up of engine bay at some stage..... looks good :)

you'll be laughing when it's all good and ready ;D

and if they did the "fuel cut" at 5000rpm or whatever, that would just act as a rev limiter to prevent you from accidently (or deliberately) mashing it ;D
