leave the blow off valve off the carge pipe or just take off one of the charge pipes so that it will leak off the boost. then stay in low rpms to avoid over spooling the turbo and you'll be good to go.r

if you leave the stock injectors in, and don't spool the turbo you'll be fine

if your turbo has an internal wastegate, take the arm off of the flapper so the exhaust will escape and not spool the turbo or create boost.

i'd never drive without a charge pipe on... it takes away the resistance it takes to build boost n easily allows the turbo to over spool. jus as long as ur not above part throttle or engauging load it wont boost for ----. i can drive all day long with everything attatched n not build any boost if i wanted to. jus say below half throttle. watch ur boost gauge n you'll see what makes it build boost.. its not difficult to stay out of boost. boost doesn't jus show up by givin it gas. u gotta build boost.
