I just bought a picco boost 5tr .28 from absolute hobbyz. Waiting for delivery. I was wondering how it will be for breakin? Do others have tips, which tuned pipe, fuel recommendations..thanks
 
I got a .28 boost turbo for my savage, it took over a gallon to break in, I always pre heated motor to around 220 before starting, started much easier , and always kept temp gun on it to keep it around 220 to 240 ish, I haven't run it since broke in and tuned but haven't experienced any half tank lean issues since tuned, like I did with lrp .28 spec 3 I had
 
the pipe ive had the best luck with all around, bottom and top end was the hpi savage X L tuned pipe and header, because the header is better flowing with no sharp bends and set up is cheap.
 
Yeah I agree about the header. The new engine will be going in savage x with twin shocks so I'll have to use sharper curved header. I have a lrp 28 spec 3 in another savage x with the sharper header as well..I have a 086 pipe on it, but have nothing to compare to.
 
recieved picco boost today..wtf..its missing all roto starter inners, one way bearing and plate..sending back. Not seeing any quality
 
I got a refund. I haven't decided what engine to get. I'm leaning towards a novarossi 28..
