What makes you switch to delo?And do you think delo would be a good choice for a break in oil?

I think rotella or dello would be good for break in. Then at 5k if your interested switch to synthetics.

Most say run petro first or it will not break in. I don't exactly follow that, BUT since the first dump is quite early, it's not cost effective to use a synthetic so I use Delvac 1300 until I am ready to run full term oil change intervals.

I'd also recommend a good tow workout once you have completed a short shakedown run. Put her shoulder into it, but keep RPM's down and boost strong to seat the rings. Be sure to modulate load then coast as well...

Delo is better IMO

How should I keep boost up and rpms down?

Put the transmission in overdrive gear then drive it a little hard. Boost builds the most when its on overdrive where there is more load on the engine.
