Lonn
Just drive and be smart about it. I wouldnt be flooring it all the time.
The best thing you can do, with new car is drive it about 50 miles after you pick it up and change the oil and filter. This will dump the first batch of oil which will have the most garbage from assembly. Then at 500 miles dump it again. Then at 1500 miles I would change it and switch it to a synthetic oil. I use Amsoil but Mobile 1 is good too. Then you can go 7500 mile drains with the good synthetic and know
your turbo will last.
I am finishing a 89 Shadow project car I drove for 195K miles. It has
a 2.5 Turbo engine. I used the Amsoil and their filters. I changed the oil on 20K miles drains with their bypass filter.I saved All the rod and main bearings which look brand new and there was very little engine wear. I have gone thru the motor since( bored/hone/decked, cut crank, resized rods etc) it needed a headgasket but I was impressed with it. I wouldnt use anything but a good synthetic oil, especially in a Turbo engine.
