YES you are safe to run with your setup dont turn your boost over 21-22 psi then you might start hurting your engine.

What are your qualifications to assess the safety of a given modification combination from a remote location?

It's never completely safe to run. As the saying goes "ye pays yer money and takes yer chances". Personally I'd throw some 100 octane unleaded in the tank and let 'er rip.

You really dont have anything that your stock ecu cant handle. If your ecu feels it runing unsafe it will pull timeing. Your fine nothing like what happen to me is going to go down with your car.

Well do you beat on the car at all? I mean its not safe to do but if you beat the car on the street its not that much worse at the track but it also depends on you definition of beating.

You will also likely be very disappointed with your results as untuned you really don't gain that much
