I guess everyone has a different opinion of "logical non abusive break-in driving".

I will clarify:

I boosted often enough, frequently to the 15psi limit set by the shop - I was just smart about when I was doing it, and how I was doing it (smooth application of throttle, not hammering WOT through all the gears). I realize boost is required to seat the rings, I was not driving it like an 80 year old man. When the engine was hot, I was frequently accelerating in boost.
