So the question is can you get all the way on it right away or is there any break in required?

The only real break-in period is for new engines. If the engine hasn't been broken in as per Lotus/Toyota suggested period you cannot just slam it with full boost and throttle. If your engine had already been broken in properly then you can use the turbo to full performance immediately after install. Although you would be wise to take it easy and check things for athe first few days to ensure all things are working properly and secured.
The 500 mile break-in Sky-King was requesting was not so much for the actual engine break-in but rather to give Hass some time/miles with the car to ensure proper ECU tuning and component reliability. It was more of a Turbo System trial period to help uncover unforseen problems before being delivered across the country.
