We also recommend boost during break-in, but just not mores than 7-8 psi.
In theory, higher combustion pressure = more ring pressure.

I am not going to 19+PSI but am willing to go beyond wastegate spring pressure at 9 PSI. I am also watching A/F, EGT, etc. Maybe I will break this motor in a new (for me) and wonderful way, but it is how I have decided to proceed.

I probably over/under torqued the head bolts and bent that intake valve anyway so WTF.
