I bought a Super B turbo do i need to let it break in or run under a certian boost for a certian amount of miles?

 

no it does it all on its own maybe for the first second going out the driveway but once you hit the road slam that peddle and enjoy.

 

Are you swapping out the HX40?

 

I broke mine in for 200 miles, increasing boost as I went. Probably doesn't make a difference but I figured it couldn't hurt.

 

When I put in my SPS62, it said something about letting it idle for about 5 minutes or so before you start working it. Let it idle, drive it easy until you get to temp, then it should be good to go.

 

Just make sure you prime it with oil first before hooking up the oil feed line! Take the VP relay out of the box and give it a few 10 second cranks also to make sure you have oil all the way up and into the turbo.

 

I agree with GFB. Squirt some oil in the supply hole, spin the compressor wheel to work the oil into the bearings, and then follow his start up procedure. Then I'd let it sit and idle for atleast 5mins. After that, I'd say your good to go.

 

I wouldn't worry about the cranking without starting it part. Fill the turbo with oil, spin the shaft, refill, keep doing that until the oil level in the inlet doesn't really go down. Then hook the oil line up and start it. You just need an oil film on there, you don't need full flow off the get go. The mass of the rotating assembly and the speeds it goes at idle isn't going to hurt anything.

 

Yes i'm swapping it out
