If you don't go WOT you should be okay. I would be cautious of running the car hard at all though. Do you have a WBO2? Keep a close eye on it if you do until you get it tuned, if you don't have one I would be even more wary of doing the switch...

1. If you have an MBC, simply turn it off so the turbo is on W/G actuator only.

2. I suggest the Tephra CEL knock lite mod as well. Then simply stay out of knock.

You'll be fine, if you want to get all super paranoid just turn it down a turn.
