Running-in in general terms it is not required but recommended only sleeve bearing turbos. We had a brand new TD07 on a RB25det, by tuning straight after installation you notice the boost curve kicks in more and more advanced as you flooring it on the 4th gear. car picked up lot more mid rang few weeks later with boost advanced by almost 500RPM. I'm pretty sure lot of tuners have seen the same thing and will tell you the same story.
Its got nothing to do with in build quality, its not a requirement, but a recommendation to sleeve bearing turbo owners to see the true result of their setup.
Back on the turbo topic. Is this a R33's rear housing? it looks like a AVO's .63 rear housing. If that is the case this turbo would have no isses making upto 300rwkws.
