To answer your question, I think the factory does a break in on the high performance stuff prior to shipment. Can you imadgine letting people test drive zero miles turbo cars with no break in period? The warranty department would loose its mind! I would personally wait for a few thousand miles and a couple of oil changes to do any hard driving on a "new" motor. That doesn't mean you can't turbo it, just take it easy for a while untill every thing seats in.
You do know that Honda probably won't warranty anything after you add boost, right? Subaru will zero out your warranty for installing aftermarket exhaust systems they sell in there own parts departments. Auto manufacturers are getting hard core about high performance these days, they dont want you changing anything.
