twin turbo break-in procedure for stock block?

I have a used JWT TT kit that is going on my stock engine, can anyone help me figure out what kind of break0in procedure if any I should follow? The engine has 37K on it, and the turbos were used for a while on another car already...

There is not much Break-in procedure in a Turbo. The turbo will spool better after a few thousand miles though. As a Matter of fact, the shop who did the install and Tune probably had a few to a hundred miles of WOT after they are done tuning your car . Welcome to the Dark Side.

+3 just take it easy for a few miles and inspect everything before going hard on the boost.

I wanted to know this too. I started looking up Turbo break-in, and I found out that a well made turbo should have no break-in. I'm going to take it easy on my car because I dont have any gauges installed yet. I would also hope that the shop that does the install would take the car for a ride then place it on the lift for final inspection.
