Or you can manually retard the timing. Also have something to control the injectors.

You could, but not the best option.

To answer the OP's question. Yes it will start and run rich, but you will have to drive gently.

or just have a leak in the intake pipe so that that turbo doesn't blow your **** to kingdom come.

I had a friend who swapped a t2 into his and ran the na ecu. He had no problems...but it really didnt run that great. Good for a temporary drive.

Is it worth risking your engine? Your hard work?

Yes, **** you can drive around for a while with an NA ECU as long as you don't go into boost.

yea it should work you might find to doing some weird things though.
my 740T volvo ran a N/A 740 ECU and the timing mark walks around the belt instead of staying in one place. but it runs well so its comfusing. lol

it'll work if you drive it gently, but the first time you really put your foot down, you can count on it blowing. Maybe disconnect the wastegate actuator from the flapper so you cant build any boost.
