Hiya everyone,
I have just bought a 2008 GB270 with no miles on the clock :D . People are telling me different ways to break it in, dont go above 4,000 revs, dont redline, do redline, start like you mean to go on, thrash it. :wonder:
Any advice would be most apreciated as I would like to get Maximum performance out my car...
Many Thanks
Tony

I've always been gentle for the first 1k not going above 4 k and varying the revs. Gradually build up the revs after that. I've always done this and never had an engine / turbo go pop
Others say just cane it from new. Don't know how many people have actually done this as oposed to heard about someone who has redlined it from 0 miles.
