Recommended engine break in procedures vary greatly depending on who you speak to, some swear by the slow break in others recommend lots of over run and engine braking to bed the rings some no boost, some moderate boost and others just drive it like to stole it from the off!

Follow the manufactures guidelines and do an early good quality oil change and you should be fine. Make sure you warm the car up properly - this takes longer than you think, oil temps take at least twice as long as water and mine doesn't reach 80 until at least 10 minutes into the journey.
