There are a lot of different opinions on this. I say to go easy on it for the first 1000 miles, and don't hit the brakes hard for the first 500 miles (unless of course you really need to). Also, don't ever fully engage the turbo while the engine is really cold. Someone suggested a "no turbo" zone within a few miles of their house, I like that idea. The gas mileage should improve as the car breaks in, opinion is that this can take up to 10K. I'm almost there! Enjoy your Aero!
Good Luck,
AeroLady
