Re:turbo without charge pipes?
There is one thing to be considered though, the turbo won't get much exhaust to drive it when the motor isn't force fed any air. This is how a turbo builds up pressure. However, do not let any dirt or debris get into your compressor, it WILL eat the blades. And of course, don't drive fast with a large boost leak, at high rpms you might get enough energy to drive the turbo to an overspin.
