A few miles (50-100) stop and go should be fine.

Yup, 150 miles (according to AWE)... Just had mine (Stg. 2.5) done and am 40 km's into it, feels phenomenal. Don't think you have to go the full 150 though.

So if i have new clutch fitted i cant get my turbos fitted at the same time because they will need a tune? Is that correct?

Honestly, it should be fine. Some say that there's no (or negligible) break-in, but like I said, speaking with the distributor directly, they mentioned 150 miles, think it's just to be absolutely sure. If you're going to be on a dyno, I'm sure it should be fine, as long as they don't thrash it around. I'd check with the manufacturer directly to be sure - but don't see it as an issue.

Do you plan on driving extensively between getting the turbo fitted and getting the tune?!??! (why?)

You can fit them all at once, then get the tune a day or two (or a week) later... just don't drive it.
