Definately not driving it hard--maybe half throttle, 5k short shifting, 5psi...
I even searched engine break in procedures, found a quote from you Sarx--"drive it normally, not too hard, not too soft"
And after researching the BOV, some have it recirc and some don't. My car runs fine.... However I know it is supposed to be in recirc.

And my stance on break in is only on a tuned engine and I never went into boost while breaking mine in. And you can run your BOV VTA, but on a MAF equipped car it is not ideal. But you probably like the cool sound I am sure.

Noted.
Dude, if you are not tuned, you should not be in boost. Period.

ahhh the dilemna of "get it tuned man".... you see, way over here in Germany it's so lonely being a rotary enthusiast. And then following MM's tuning schedule (2x monthly) will take maybe 4 or 5 months to complete ?
But then there's the fact that I actually need to drive around the car to wear in the compression....
Oh rotaries, ILU!
