I believe there is no break in period needed after the initial prep and then idle for 10 min to let oil flow.

Yep turbos don't require a break-in. That being said, I just installed mine last weekend and I'm taking it easy the first 100 miles. It's more to make sure there are no leaks or anything unusual going on with it.

When I prepped my turbo, I disconnected the hpfp and coils. I manually turned the crank at least 30 times then cranked it with everything disconnected for about 3 seconds 5 times. Can never be too safe about getting oil through the turbo first!

The more I get on it then bit the more I'm loving it. I thought DD would suffer with loss of low end power, but I actually think it's better. I drive the same road every day for work for 5 years so I know exactly what throttle input and downshift it takes where and seems like she's just got a hair more power even low end without boosting more.
