I have the feeling that when I start installing my turbo, I won't be able to finish it right away. Would there be any damage or danger by running the turbo with no charge pipes and with wastegate(internal) stuck open by means of a wire or something on the actuator?

Basically I'm thinking mani, turbo, downpipe installed. Compressor outlet open. I would put a filter on the inlet if necessary.

Anyone forsee any problems?

btw, this is a DSM T25 and I plan on using a DSM o2 housing so wastegate dump will just go into exhaust.

you should just wait to install it when you have everything

yea there is another poste somewhere just like this except he did that and the shaft snapped

Homemadeturbo / Forced Induction / Re: my 1200 bucks turbonetics shaft snapped

the turbo will still spool even with the wastegate open so i personaly wouldent do it

I don't plan on doing it till I have everything. My concern is that I won't have time to do it all at once. So i'm trying to think of the safest way to do a partial install.
I don't get a lot of time off from work and when I do i still have to give my gf rides to/from work. I'm gonna go look for that thread igotnothin mentioned. thx

if you're not going to have time, save the turbo, manifold, and dp install for last......put on the IC and as much of the charge piping as you can.....the rest of it isn't that time consuming anyway!

Actually, I'm gonna have to go to a shop to get the downpipe made... So I guess i'm gonna have to go there, put on the turbo/mani, have them make the dp, then put my headers back on.

Ya judging from that other thread, it doesn't seem very safe to leave it open with no back pressure... argh!

What if i restrict the outlet a bit...?

what, charge piping is the easy part, im vary sure i spent 70% of my time on my charge piping

Your post has confused me

maybe it would not be if you wrote it like this..

just make sure you have everything ready to bolt on before you start your install. like have all your charge pipe cut and ready to bolt up, intercooler mounted. you can drive it with the turbo and manny on to a muffler shop to get your DP made.
