New forged egine boost break in
about ready to put my hole set up together, new engine trans everything. I would like to break it in on boost s that's all the motor ever knows. good idea? bad idea? will the fresh engine build bits of metal from break in ruin a turbo or no?

A temp inline filter sounds like a good idea. Those were my thoughts because a stock turbo vehicle like a wrx or something gets a new motor they break it in with the turbo so idk

The oil cooler ports above the oil filter deliver filtered oil, so i dont see any issue with keeping the turbo hooked up for break-in.
If you want you can have a partner hold the compressor wheel from spinning, and fire the engine with the feed line disconnected, just to clean that out.

take the turbo off, do 2-3 complete heat cycles, change the oil, drive it how youre gona drive it for the rest of its life. thats how ive always broken in an engine. not that im a real expert or anything on the matter though
