Hello everyone and happy new year!

This week I'll be picking up my car from service.
2014 Countryman S Auto FWD @ 66k miles.
During this service I had the turbo replaced with a JCW 40mm turbo.

Is there a proper process for breaking in a new turbo? Any items that should be monitored?

When I pick up the car, I'm considering taking it for a long drive 30-45 min one way then turn around and come back, not sure if I should do any restarts while out on the initial run.

Talk to me everyone, let me know your thoughts, ideas or experiences.

 

I would just do what the owner's manual says to do. I doubt it addresses turbo break-in at all.

 

I can't imagine there is a special "break in" procedure for a turbo. As long as it has oil and coolant flow, I would think you'd be able to run it right away.
