Hi lads, made a big move to go from a 160bhp 850kg AE86 track car to a (est 380bhp at 0.85) r32 skyline gts-t RB24t (link below with spec)

Now without sounding a complete and utter idiot, I just want to clear a few things up.. Mainly fueling, boosting, maintaining a safe engine. BeeR rev limiter.
So question no 1:
Fueling:
Car was mapped with Trial ROM on nissan ecu in japan, car has been driven a handful of times since over here a year from the previous owner and ran it on half a tin of pro boost (1/2 litre) to a full tank of fuel. What are my options? I don't really want to rely on getting tins of proboost all the time if it's not really neccessary if I can do something else.. (PowerFC, HKS FCON, other ECU options with map to run fine on 95ron). Want to keep the costs of this down enough..
Boosting? PSI?
Can anyone explain to me the technical stuff behind boosting, what it means when someone says "car runs 380bhp at only 0.85 bar boost?
Can it run more? Car has a HKS EVC3 boost controller.. What does this unit do, can I up the bar upto 1.1 bar boost and for example get 400bhp+? Will it be safe? What is PSI?
Maintaining a high powered car
What advice do people with experience have with maintaining such car?
Services, oil changing, filters, water, what to check on a regular basis, timing belts, how often things are done, turbo timers etc.
Lastly, the BeeR Rev limiter
..Heard quite a few horror storys regarding this little satan of an item. People stating it kills engines, melts pistons, the usual.. Are these safe to use as a launch item (track day 1/4 mile example), or will it ruin the engines internals slowly but surely?) Question is really, is it a keeper, or get it removed?
Just to add also, my main priority of this car is running it safe and strong, so I would imagine fueling could be a main issue and would want to get it mapped..?
