i have to drive to my welder after i install my turbo to weld my d/p is it cool if i drove 15 miles open turbo.

edit

tomorrow i'm puttin my turbo on but theres just like 2 questions i have which are pretty basic, i got a few quarts of 10w30 oil that i never used w/ my tranny swap, is that ok motor oil for turbo? i live in ct too so its gonna get cold. also, how much oil should i add after i drain the pan and everything, like how much total quarts cause i know it has to fill the turbo/return/and feed lines. .

 

I drove with no down pipe for probably a month. i assure you, there will be no problems.

 

Hard boosting on 10psi on that z6? That's loud isn't it. LOL. Gets higher and higher pitched as you go up in the gears. I drove 1 mile there, 1 mile back, and 1 mile back again. Only boosted like 4psi, but still. I think you run alot leaner so just don't crazy boost or boost at all really. My opinion based on others when I asked this before.

why would loss of backpressure run u lean?

 

It would = less resistance which would = more power = not on the same tuning. This is what I was told. Just as you gain whp from open DP from full exhaust. You don't run the same map do you? No.

You would know before I would. I wanted an exhaust cut-out to run open DP or just run open turbo for the track. I was told it wasn't too safe by my tuner and another tuner. That's my source of information.

well when i took off my 2.5in no cat dp back exhaust to a stock muffler and ran open elbow off the turbo, it was slower than when i had the exhaust on...so i dunno...but for making it leaner - i still dont understand.

and no less back pressure doesnt mean more horsepower....u do need a certain amount of backpressure to operate
