Did you receive a vehicle owner’s manual supplement? For my year car, the manual stated a break in period of 1,000 miles.

Short quick RPM's. Don't hold it at high RPM's for a long period. This will help seat the rings the best way. Other than that I would follow your owner’s manual. But I would say that you've got enough mileage to be a little more aggressive.

Your boost will not be up around 9psi until you get high up in the rpm's.

A lot of people don't even see their max Boost until they put it on a dyno. Because they can actually pay attention to the boost gauge and not worry about keeping the car on the road
