Turbo breakin?

[Bako_Dmax]

What procedure are people doing when breaking in a new turbo?

I know your supposed to keep the engine from firing and just crank it over to pump oil into the turbo. Then start and let it idle for a peroid of time.

Thanks.

thats what i did when i put my gt4094 on. cranked it over a few times to build the oil pressure up then fired her up. took it down the road being easly on it the first half of a mile and then hammer down on it.

What did you do to keep it from firing?

pour a little oil in it if you want. They have oil in them from the factory. Just start it and let it idle like normal. When you park your truck over night (or a few days) the oil drains out. You don't prime the oil system every time you go to drive your truck

pull the TCBAIT fuse

had a loose fuel line

I did the same as many, poured some oil in the turbo, then let it idle for a little while.

oil goes in the turbo?

The little fitting on top in the middle of the turbo, take it off and pour oil in it, you know......oil in the little hole, air in the big one, haha.

ya just un plug that fuse like said then crank it over for 15 secs or so. plug the fuse back in, start truck, let it come up to operating temp... check for leaks and hammer down

Not if you use a check valve
