OK it's a new engine but it's design and tolerances are over 20 years old.  You are right new stuff doesn't need to run as such, but technology, design, metallurgy and oil has come along way since the mk2 engine was conceived!

Just run in as per the engine builder, they may just say drive sensibly for a 500 miles and then do your worst there after.
