TEC 18G yes, break it in, i was told go easy for first 500 or so, that doesnt mean drive around the island 4 times, you need to get it hot, let it cool down, etc., "break it in" .......my .02

VF30 to an FP Green.

Like de Phil, my vf30 was used so no break-in, trax immediately. FP was broken in correctly, trax only once or twice following break-in.

any type of moving part...allow a good break in period...what ever you feel is right, but 500 miles is good, also, very important, tuning (accessport, utec, wutevers)...good luck
