I was wondering if it is possible to bolt on the mani, turbo, oil lines, and downpipe and run it on the car. Just letting it spool and boost, but just shoot straight out into the atmosphere. Is this possible to do? I don't see why not, but this is my 1st build so let me know guys. Thanks alot fellas!

I'm not quite understanding your question. Are you asking if you can run no charge pipes and just let it vent the boost out in the engine bay? Sur you can do that. But you will damage the turbo. You can actually over rev the turbo causing extra heat and premature failure of the turbocharger.

 

Yep, that's what I meant. No, I'm not going to do that now . Thanks man!

Good idea. save yourself the extra money of having to rebuild or buy a new turbo. It's the same when you blow one of your charge pipes off. You can hear the turbo spooling way to fast.
