I shift around 3-3.5k RPM until warm. Lugging the motor is not good either. With regards to boost...you should be able to hear it. A few PSI is fine, you just don't want to impose high loads (big throttle inputs at low RPM) for an extended time. It's not rocket science, just be reasonably conservative.

I don't ever go past ~3.5k until the temp gauge (135i cluster swap) begins to move at around 160F, then I let myself get up to 4.5-5k until temps hit around 190F, at which point the whole motor gets used . Nice thing is that you can lug an NA motor moreso than the turbo motors because air is simply pulled into the combustion chamber versus being crammed in there, but I try to avoid that as much as possible...
