At 8k that thing's barely broken in. If the donor car was involved in a frontal accident I would check the crank for axial play. (thrust bearings and such)
****Did the new engine come with the DI computer? The four channels on the DI computer are matched to the measured flow rates of the direct injectors. The injectors are lumped into (I think four) categories based on how they test out.****
If it did not come with the computer then there's more you can do to verify but I don't have any practical experience. I learned this just from my daily forum browsing.

edit: I think the above is bullshit. After coming home and reading the relevant sections of the service manual, I see nothing to indicate that the injector driver unit (dumb device - not a computer) is special from one unit to the next.
