I have my turbo on the car, I have to go back to school and I dont want to let it build any boost. I know I can do this by unhooking the actuator from the wastegate. Is this bad for the turbo? Would it freewheel at a high rpm or what?

 

It will not damage the turbo. But if you rev the motor high enough you may get 2 or so psi still...

 

Thank you,

Oh, and no I won't Nothing is connected to the outlet of the turbo... until next weekend anyways

 

Just stay low throttle.

 

Everything seemed to go fine on the 3 hour drive. I kept on the highway most of the way doing about 70 - 75. I did get into the throttle a few times, you could surely hear the turbo spooling/whistling occasionally even with light gas.

I cant wait till its hooked up, I had difficulties this weekend but come friday I'll try to finish her up again.

 

I have run with the actuator disconnected many times.. I also reved my bitch to 8k. Still no boost, never fucked anything up. lol, slow as ---- though, especially with retarded timing :P
