rebuilt engine and new everything now what?

So over the last two years iv changed tons of parts in my 89 turbo pretty much everything except the Apexi power FC i had when it was stock, since then i have a new streetported engine, 340lph fuel pump 2x 1600cc 2x 720cc injectors, FMIC new Garrett GT35 external wastegate, a dual stage turbosmart boost controller and a full 3 inch all the way exhaust as well as other mods (brakes,susp,clutch etc.)

within the next couple weeks it will be time to fire it up for the first time and my question is...What do i do? I really wanna break it in slowly and thoroughly, but i dont want to drive it without somebody going through my Power FC and making proper adjustments, do you need to do that on the dyno? or can somebody just do that by idling and revving up a bit in the driveway? Would you suggest as soon as i start the car, make sure there are no leaks or fires haha then put it on a trailer straight to the dyno, or, any other alternatives you guys have experienced?

Thanks this is my first heavily modified car and first time tuning and dynos have been in the picture and im just looking to do things right the first time. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Nobody has rebuilt an engine and upgraded it at the same time?
