Last question, while my fingers recover from all this typing...

Is there any recommended break-in period for a rebuilt turbo? Majestic =
Turbo, the shop that rebuild my Garrett T25/28, indicated that there was =
none whatsoever. But it would seem "non-empathic" to crank a newly =
rebuilt turbo to 15 psi right after install. Seems like the bearing =
needs to run-in or something.

Actually, I just found post on the forum recommending 500 miles on a new =
turbo, so I guess I'll take it easy on her for a while. Which is more =
important to limit: boost or revs -- or both?
