As a general rule drive it as normal, give it a bit of stick every now and then, don't red line it to often and all should be sweet. Well that's what I'm doing. But most important especially with the turbo, change your oil regularly every 7500mks after the first 3000km change. Ford quote 15000k changes that is to far apart for turbos.

All that is right. The dealer will not change your oil at the 3000k service unless you stipulate it.
When I had my XR8 I did exactly as you listed, oil change at 3000 then at 7500 then every 7500k's after that.
A very nice looking car, congratulations. Hope you enjoy it, which I am sure you will.
