Default Just got my turbo replaced - is there a break-in period?

Hiya all. I just had the turbo on my A4 replaced under warranty. The car is a 98.5 I acquired recently, knowing the turbo needed replacement. Now that it's in, should I take it relatively easy on the boost for a few hundred miles, or can I just drive normally?

Thanks!

Default Don't know if things are different on an Audi....

We do a lot of turbo upgrading and swapping in Grand National world... as long as it's up to temp... stand on it and go! Just put a big one on my GN..... Eeeeeeeeeya! Now if it would only turn and stop.

Lay off the boost for a while. I tried to for the first 200 miles.

I don't know of any turbo manufacturer that recommends a break-in period
