Message	20-30 minutes at idle and light revs after initial start-up Oil change #1 Go drive car ~100 miles staying out of boost. oil change #2 Strap car to dyno Perform a series of dyno pulls increasing throttle and boost allowing cool down periods between pulls. Eventually ending up at full power runs. Dyno still does not put as much stress on engine as the street. oil change #3 Drive car another 100 miles or so at moderate boost. Check over and under Return to customer and tell them to take it easy for another 500 miles or so and do an oil change with synthetic at 1000 miles. We've broken serveral of our own cars in on the dyno right from the start and they have done fine. We just try to take a more middle of the road approach with customers cars.
