I doubt you'll have much problem. Just think of all the people driving their MB around without a gauge completely oblivious to the fact that they even have a turbo and have almost no turbo issues. And perhaps even more so just turning the engine off without waiting for the turbo to stabilize after a long pull up a hill to a scenic view...amazing they don't coke up more.
I typically max out at around 1150 on mine but have seen 1250 momentarily on a max power grade trying to maintain speed, but I like to keep it at or below 1200 as a personal red line. My probe is pre-turbo so reading at the hottest point.
