Well most NEW cars are 1000 miles BUT the engine has already been under tests etc before the milometer has been started.

In your case i'd say 1000 miles then an oil change then boost away

Agree as Alan,

1000 mile initial run-in, no more than 3500-rpm then an oil change.
Then full beans!!!

When i ran my forged 2.5 in i had to do 500 miles on mineral, then an oil change, then another 1000, before another oil change to semi synthetic before I was able to use any boost.

Speak to one of the tuning companies like Enginetuner or API, Zen, Mocom etc
