i did it... it spools a little bit...at high rpms but no boost...so i think it would be ok to run for a couple of days...i didnt... so cant really tell ya... i wouldnt drive it just wait

Are you taking the wastegate completely off? Or are you just disconnecting the vacuum? You'll have 2 different results. Take it off, and you get no boost, since on internal wastegate the flapper will be open. External wastegate, there'll be a hole, exhaust leaves and wont spin the turbo much. Take off just the vacuum, the turbo gets all the exhaust, and you'll boost forever. I wouldnt recommend disconnecting the vacuum if you have a lead foot. You'll blow something up. I think this is how it would be...correct me if I'm wrong.

there is no vacuum

I haven't heard of that kind. Oops.

If the flapper is undone, and not letting the turbo free spool you will be fine.. DO NOT, drive around with the wastegate closed (spring/or normal wastegate whatver) and no charge pipes hooked up.. This will overspool the turbo, since the wastegate will not open, and will kill the life of the turbo.
