The engine has factory semi synthetic oil in it. You can drive it and enjoy the boost. Don't stay on boost for extended periods of time. Once the engine is up to temperature, I don't think that you need to worry much about anything at all.
The stories about varying speeds etc was a concern about the mechanical advance mechanisms inside of distributors wearing in fixed spots before the surfaces were equally work conditioned. Not an issue now.
After a week, find and snug up hose clamps down stream of the turbo, and the cooling system.
Switch to full synthetic oil with your next oil change.
Get a good tire pressure gage and run you pressures a bit higher, maybe 35 or 38 psi, if you have 16" alloy wheels. This will help protect them from getting bent.
