I am curious how long I should break my motor in? I replaced everything! I was thinking around 1500 miles or for me 2000k. The sooner I get my breaking I the sooner I can get the car tuned, then the fun starts! I don't know if I can last the whole time

Without bearings replacement, 500 to 1000 miles. With bearings replacement, 2000 miles.

I have new bearings, so I won't be boosting for sometime. I hope I can holdout and do it right. But I have a feeling I might be like Vosko. It would take a long/long time to get 2000 mile in Japan. I only drove 4000k all last year. OH WELL. I'll try to not boost, it will be worth it in the long run.
