OK, I am putting a turbo on my car... but I have yet to find an intercooler to front mount, for really cheap.... I'm just being patient... I know there out there.

Anyways.... There is NO WAY I am going to put the turbo on without a big FMIC... I have high compression N/A rotors (umm, N/A engine!!).. and while I have the S-AFC, and 550 cc injectors, with my intake and exhaust, I can easily see boost going to 10psi. (Boom goes engine without interccoling!!)

Anyways, I REALLY want to get this turbo on- I want the power, and I am looking forward to it being quieter!! (No freakin headers!!)

My question.... can I put the turbo on, (so it's quieter!!) and tie the wategate open?? Should only give 1 or 2 psi... which is fine with me untill I get the intercooling and piping all made up...but at least I'd be able to drive it around....
Is that wastegate opening doable?

 

What kind of turbo and wastgegate?

What kind of manifold are you using to bolt the turbo to the engine?

 

Oh- it's a stock s5 turbo and manifold.
I'm making the exhaust manifold spacer right now...Its all cut and drilled, I just have to weld it.

 

No, you can't do this to a stock turbo.&nbsp It'll still hit 5psi+ with the stock wastegate.

Wow... I guess thats why everyone ports theirs! That could lead to nutty boost creep! Isn't an s4 wastegate even worse?

Well... 5 PSI I could handle without intercooling... (I do have 3mm seals) I'd just richen it up a bit and back the timing off untill the intercooler is in.... Maybe a bottle of 104 octane boost with each tank could help too.

 

3mm seals aren't going to allow you to run more boost. I don't see why your engine couldn't handle the boost if you're easy on it, but I don't know exactly how much pressure the n/a block can take.
