Yeah we have about a 200mile trip from orlando to tampa. We need a way to keep the car from boostin since the turbo is blown to high hell. And if it does boost we need to keep it as low as possiable.

Car cannot run with any disconnected IC piping. If your turbo is shot I can only imagine that you will not have as much power. I have never experienced this problem myself so perhaps someone else can elaborate.

The turbo is still gonna be turning thousands of RPMs,theres still airflow across the turbine and compressor blades no matter what you wire open or bypass.That means the already shot turbo bearings are gonna get worse and the whole time you could be grinding housing/fan material off the inside of the compressor and feeding it into the intake.
Short of towing the car,if you dont care about wasting the turbo the rest of the way,and dont want to feed the engine metal shavings,then get some pipe and hook up the AFM to the inlet of the intercooler somehow.It doesnt have to be pretty,just needs to be secure.That will completely bypass the turbo cold side and the engine will be completey N/A.
Itll sound damn weird,but any carnage from the turbo eating itself to death will NOT be pumped into the engine.If the hotside decides to eat itself up too,the shavings will just go out the exhaust.
