Keep the motor stock until it is broken in, just put on a base tune.
I don't know the exact mileage, but keep it below 4k and out of boost for the first 1000 and go easy on it for another few thousand and you should be ok. Also, change the oil at 500 miles and probably at 1500 miles also.

lol sorry no hook ups...lol well the story on it is..I had a rebuild motor in the car that only had 7k on it and i put a large turbo upgrade and a microtech in it over the winter. I then took it to get the microtech dyno tuned and it turns out it had low compression on the rear rotor so i needed a rebuild. we took the motor apart and all the apex seals were intact but the springs were flat as a pancake..and the irons used on the rebuild were trash so i got ripped off..just so happend dave at KDR perfomance talked to a freind of his in CT that had this brand new motor and had it sittin for a while and just wanted to get rid of it and get some money back..i think he said he paid like 6400 for it..lol....let me tell you what though this thing is truly a beautiful sight..ive seen some clean rebuilds but this thing looks amazing..every nut and bolt is even brand new on it and it came with new water pump housing water pump and a brand new flywheel!!!

here are the pics as promised...they are kinda shitty cause the motor is half way in the car i just cant get the damn splines to line up so i can bolt it to the tranny..as you can see it looks like they didnt paint the irons from the factory..i never knew that..
