Driving with turbo disconnected...
 

I'm going with a t25 on a d16a6 in a crx with stock manifold and adapter. My questions are, will the sr20det downpipes bolt to a dsm turbo, and does it clear? And second, if I hooked up the manifld to turbo to downpipe assembly, and didn't hook up the charge pipes, would the car still drive? I mean aside from being loud as hell with no exhaust, because I want to hookup the downpipe forward and then have the exhaust shop bend a new exhaust from there.

I HIGHLY doubt if the JDM downpipe will bolt to the DSM T25....those are two totally different turbo's...check out DSMTrader or roadrace engineering...shouldn't be too hard to find an 02 housing flange for a T25...

make sure to unhook your wastegate actuator from the flapper to keep the turbo from free-spooling to death

I'd imagine you might want to hook the oil lines up too. But i'm a newbie, what do I know. :)

I've had to drive like that a few times.. its called popping a charge pipe :(

Just take it easy, the turbo spools like mad when its d/c'ed.

I just did something similiar on my sunfire. I have everything together except one charge pipe and had to go back to college (3 hours away) I just disconnected the actuator rod from the wastegate....it shoudl work fine just make sure you have oil lines hooked up for sure.

This weekend I should finish my last charge pipe, the exhaust probalby wont be as loud as you think.
