I have run 3200 RPM @77 for days on end. More than RPM, I heat up if I sustain EGTs over 1200 or so. If your temps are under control, you can run at 4000 and not hurt anything. Our RPM characteristics as far as I can tell are the same as the 1.6 4 cyl VW motors. Peak torque is 2700, (your turbo may change that some)so IMO that is the sweet spot, but usually I'm not patient enough to go that slow....need another gear.
