The first being that when boosting a motor that was NA from the factory, it should be common practice to let her warm up before pushing her at all. This applies even to factory cars. You don't have to let the car sit and idle, but for the sake of your car, boosted or not, tuned or not, it's always a good idea to drive easy and keep it under 4k until the oil reaches operating temperature. This is usually 10 minutes or so.
In 85deg weather, I've noticed my car takes ~4miles for my oil to reach 180F. I baby it until I'm at a min 180F, then I drive my car hard. Never had a P0302 error (knock on wood).
