Rings - break in period/mileage

MC engine.

Any ideas on what kind of oil consumption I should be seeing during
break-in for first 1000 mi?

Engine has new rings, valve seals, turbo and seems to be consuming about a
quart or Castrol 10w40 in under 200mi.  Standard piston rings used - Goetze
026 198 151A with very light honing to remove glaze.

I get a lot of smoke on startup too, then it settles down.  Engine now has
700 miles since rebuild.
