2505, How long do u have to wait after putting on a turbo? Posted by guest, Mar-08-01 01:20 PM I remember hearing that you have to wait for around 500 mies (after putting on a turbo) before taking the car up to WOT. Is this true? I dont think I could wait that long...hehe..It would be very tempting

Posted by JasonESi_T, Mar-08-01 01:34 PM heh...I waited maybe one mile... ;-) I think that rule applies to new internals or clutches, but not to turbos. In the HRC instructions, they have me boosting right away so as to tune it correctly. I only wait to warm up the car, but that's it! Boost on!

Just make sure you give the car a quick check before you take off! Guy RS_Guy 13.9sec @ 105mph passes w/ Blown piston rings, on Stock Internals at 10psi Boost....
