after 500km, start going higher int he revs and more load, by the 1000km mark you wanna basically be giving it a hard time
staying off boost will not bed the rings in properly to the bore

Guys after working for several credible mechanical workshops (and a few uncredible!) in my younger years, what Denver has highlighted above seems pretty spot on. You don't wanna load it up innitially (beware of low gear and steep hills!), just gently wear the components in etc... however you DO want to give it load after this for sure otherwise you can end up with other issues!
And above all else +3 on following the advice of your engine builder.
