You can drive it just fine, just don't go full boost or even close. The pov should help control the boost spikes but you would still run lean at stock boost levels.

Do you have a boost gauge? If not you should know that you can hit high boost very easy in a higher gear, say cruising in 5th on the highway and 3/4 throttle it to speed up. It won't feel like alot though.

1bar should be 14.7

EGT will tell you if the exhaust gets to hot, so you don't fry the turbos/motor.
