Engine break in (when can I actually boost with confidence)

I'm at 700 miles into my break in. I've changed the oil, and will change the plugs once they arrive. Anything else I should do? When can I actually boost with out the feeling that something might go boom?

You should probably start boosting a little, no more then 5psi every once in a while. Just don't go WOT until after 1k+ miles.

Thanks, I was playing with the boost since I past 600, and I went up to 5 a few times, but something inside me tells me to let off Maybe the car feels too fast after driving a beater for 5 months straight.

Thanks again.

Call me **** but this is what I did...

500 miles under 3k/under 80mph - oil change
1000 miles 100rpm increase every 100 miles - oil change
2000 mile - oil change
