Maybe you should spend a little more time at "skoo" and learn to spell. Just kidding. What injectors are they sending you now?

Grammar > you.

You don't need to break in a turbo, they are good to go from the start as long as they have oil in them. The injectors should fit no problem, try again.

pull the fuel pump fuse, crank the engine for 10-15 seconds to prime the turbo, and your good to go.

It is recommended that you take it easy on the turbo for the first 300 miles...just to be safe. Easy would be shifting at 4k, modest throttle increases, no hard boosting. As for the injectors, did you use the harnesses that came with them? I have the same kit and mine fit fine.

Prime the turbo as XSRcing reccommended if you want to do things properly. If you really want to be anal, do it with the return line unhooked and sitting in a pan to ensure the lines are flowing freely. When oil starts coming out of the return, hook it back up and youre ready to rock.
