you will be fine. you can't get into boost without a turbo. so just cruise.

It's better than running in loop mode because of a bad ECU! I drove 200km with that and I wanted to kill myself....

You mean limp mode? :1

The only difference it will make is if you go WOT, since the turbo adds a bit more air at lower vacuum (and obviously can create boost). If you drive it like a grandma would and it is still closed loop (O2 sensor is working), then it shouldn't be much more lean/rich than it would have been before.

Yeah, I wasnt sure if it was limp or loop. Anyway, brake your ECU and you'll know what I mean
