yes you should in order to seat the rings. thats what the break in period is pretty much about. This was why I was so scared to buy used. Good luck and hope you dont have anymore problems.

I wouldnt say you need to baby it for 600miles. Your turbo is used to boosting, your clutch is used to working as is you tranny. I would keep it under 5k for a couple hundred miles boosting every-so-often. Than your good. Good luck!
