You can drive, but don't hold boost until you get some sort of heat shield. On top of that, I wouldn't drive very far at all. Sustained freeway speeds get EGTs high enough to make a oil frying pan.
There is some reflective metallic tape I've seen on some cars. Don't know what it's called. I just remember seeing it on a friend's Talon a long time ago. If this were my car, I'd modify the downpipe to curve further from the oil pan, cover it with exhaust wrap, and maybe even use a shield for the oil pan. Heat is the real killer of oil.
