Running a turbo with out down pipe?
Ok, quick question. Is it possible / Safe to run a turbo II with no exhaust hooked up? Not nothing at all. Turbo wide open?
I am asking this just for testing only not to be driven down the street. I would assume that the turbo being wide open could cause alot of excessive heat right on the fire wall and possible catch fire.
I am in the process of installing a Turbo motor into my fc and untill I get a full exahust I am not sure if I should let it run at all.
Please let me know what you think.

I would think that would be like having an 1800 degree flame thrower inside the engine, I think at best case you would instantly fry anything plastic or rubber.

Well I guess we will have to wait to get the exhaust on the car. He is a bit tapped out buying the motor and all but guess he has to wait.
Thanks
