There are some that suscribe that a proper break in is more for the owner to get used to the car than it is for the car to get seated or "into a good running fit" I agree a bit with both theories. Going into a turn at a good clip and running into the weeds/guardrail would really suck with only 50 miles on the car.

It seems most of the guys publicly voicing their break in habits have been trying to follow the factory recommended 2000 mi protocol. I can't recall any posts about owners driving them really hard from the get-go to "seat the rings".
I will be driving mine very hard for the first 100 miles (with proper oil warm up) and then take it easy and drive normal. During that first 100 miles I will change the oil twice. I've done this on every car I've ever owned and they all test right at the highest stock reported HP for that model.
Perhaps some do it this way but are afraid to talk about it publicly in the forums?

Talked with dealer and he said that Porsche factory is breaking in every turbo with a 30min run at max revs, then changes oil and installs in car chassis. He said no advantage to chaniging the oli early.
Any thoughts on this and how engine should be broken in with this info>
