On a note about running in, the rev limit is wise, however do give the
engine plenty of load (without labouring it) and change gear in plenty of
time.

Low load running is not good for it- i.e. 3000rpm in 1st gear! Within the
first 100 miles I would make sure you give it several bursts of full
throttle through the gears upto your rev limit to settle the rings against
the bores- this is most important. After about 250miles begin to increase
the rev limit, but make sure you hit it regularly.

My father has a 2001 V70 T5, and I'm always amazed at just how hot
everything is under the hood - much hotter than my 1998 V70 T5.  The new
shape cars seem to get very hot under the hood.  So far, 3 years, he's
had no problems.

I wouldn't baby a new engine too much. After it has been driven gently for
an hour or two I would make sure to give it a good amount of 3/4 throttle in
the middle of the rev range. Take it up to 75% of maximum revs often. This
should be enough to give it a good break-in without over-revving or lugging.
Just use your common sense. The worst thing you can do to a new engine is to
over-baby it. Extended idling is bad also.

As far as idling to let the turbo cool down, that's only necessary if you
have been driving fast/hard right up to until you pull over. As long as you
drive easy the last 60 seconds or so before shut down you will be fine. I
would also recommend running synthetic oil in a turbo because it has much
more resistance to carbon formation at high temperatures. The turbo bushings
are lubed by engine oil and this is the part that gets hot. Regular oil can
form carbon deposits on the bushing surfaces which can cause them to seize.
