Drive it around all you want, under light loads your not going to wash down the bores and destroy your engine, what a joke! Whilst i wouldnt reccomend it, 90% of the time it'll be fine to thrash on low boost too, aslong as the previous tune isnt miles out.
It sounds like a leak somewhere, check every bit of the intake piping for leaks and if you cant find any you could try pressurising the intake and using some soapy water on the joins. Otherwise if your certain its not leaking, try cleaning the afm.
