Turning Off Boost?
I finally got all my parts in for my turbo setup. I'd like to know if I can run no boost till I get to a tuner? I was thinking maybe taking out the wastegate spring so that no boost would run to the engine. Is this possible?

Go to a tuner first, or to anyone that can chip your ecu, and have them chip it. They will put a basemap on so that when you turbo your car it will run just well enough to drive it to a tuner for fine tuning.

There is no way to shut off boost, just lowering it and try to stay on the lower rpm's.

You could mount the turbo but just run the intake to the TB and the turbo inlet. I don;t think thats tooo good for your turbo....

or just drive with the turbo,
your MAP is more than capable of reading the inlet air, I would be more concerned with those injectors,
I would do the exact opposite, run with the turbo and not the injectors, keep boost low so you don't get 100% duty on the injectors and you should be fine.

Your car would run really crappy due to the larger injectors

I didn't install the injectors yet due to I want my car tuned before the install. Ok so I'll just install the turbo and hook everything up just run like 3-5 psi with the stock injectors till i get it to the tuner. That should be fine right guys?
