i've been runnin the thing up to about 6000rpm's at bout half throttle (sometimes a little bit more) & i'm only puttin 4lbs of boost to it right now coz i was going to wait for it to break in b4 i crank up my boost.

I've been running non-synthetic oil so that it seals up quicker

I've done months of research on this & i've pretty much followed the break in process from the online sticky here.
