Default Breaking in new turbos

HI everyone, I just ordered a new turbo for my truck and was wondering how to properly break it in. I know not to drop it in and spool it up to 36psi the first time haha. I've heard to let it idle for an hour and then be easy on it for a while and just wanted to see what you guys think. Thanks.

before you install, you should replace the oil supply line, flood the bearings with fresh oil and give the shaft a couple of spins and re oil again, this is so you dont start the turbo dry
