If you aren't able to have a tuner handy on break in, then break it in NA for a few thousand miles then put the turbo on. If your turbo is installed along with bigger fuel pump & injectors, you can easily wash out your brand new piston rings and they will never break in properly.

there's different methods that different builders swear by. I kept the rpm's down and a light foot for the first 1k miles. The gradually increased from there.
