I think its kinda funny that you're trying to find out what you NEED to do to keep your engine from blowing, when a week ago you KNEW everything would be perfect...

Sorry, just messing:fawk:

Good luck:thumbup:

Yea, I have no idea what he's talking about. I do, however, suggest driving it around for a while to let the turbo lubricate and ensure that everything is fine ... then, you have fun.

but you are still subjecting a 160,000 mile motor to forced induction, which willl put more of a strain on the motor. im not trying to be an ass but i just recomend not beating the hell out of it for at least a week, just so everything breaks in properly.
