I hear the rods are really small. Is it even safe to boost these engines? and I was curious how will the car run if I didn't connect the down pipe?

 

yes you can run boost

um you will die, or have a stinky ride if you just let you exaust run in to the engine bay, not to mention you will have high tem gass on ---- that should not be getting that hot, sensors radiator. etc

 

I see.. haha.. yeah. I wouldn't wanna die or have stinky rides. Thanks.
