Will my car start?

Alrighty well i have just finished installing my new turbo/fuel system. Well most of it, what i wanna know is 1 will the car run and 2 will it be safe to drive it for less than a mile. The problems i have is i dont know how to plumb in the wastegate properly, but since im just driving it to the mechanics and am pretty much not gonna rev it past 2k will this be a problem? Second of all is i havent touched the tuning on the car, Im running the std primarys but have 1600cc secondarys, if im not making the car rev this shouldnt be an issue should it?

I tried to see if it would run up when i finished the other night (it was getting pretty late) and it didnt start but i know ive stuffed up some vac lines and have a fair few leaks so im going to go fix those today.

not having the waste gate hooked up is fine if you are not gonna be boosting.

If your just driving to your mechanics and he is not far away it should be fine. Secondaries don't kick in until aprox 3000 rpms. As for the wastegate you should be fine as well as long as you don't try flooring it or anything but for the wastegate you just need to give it a source of boost.
