if i were to remove a intercooler pipe. besides the car being much slower due to no boost. would it hurt anything to drive the car like that?

Should be fine... as long as the engine wont suck in dirty air.

I once had a massive leak from a coupler falling off and apart from the car having no power, it made a funny whining sound. Lets just say it'll be N/A.

Why would you want to anyway?

because my engine is blown, and i am attempting to fund my other project. so as long as it wont harm the turbo's, i have parts between my throttle body and turbo that i would like to sell.

Its not great on the turbos but if it is only for a short amount of time it probably wont do anymore damage.

how would it damage the turbo's?
it would just be forcing air to the atmosphere opposed to a 3" pipe

There would be no back pressure on the turbos at all, you are basically "free spinning" them. Like I said, if you are just putting around no real damage will be done, however if you tossed your apex seals who is to say there hasnt already been damage.

+1, plus protect the compressors by keeping your air filters in place.

(If the engine weren't blown, you should throw a K&N onto the elbow/TB. Also take it easy driving to minimize the freewheeling of the turbos)

As long as you dont hammer it the turbo should be fine. Oil will still flow throughout the turbo, just make sure no dirty air gets into the motor or turbo.

You will be fine as long as you don't get on the throttle very much. When I was painting my car I tossed a cheapo air filter on the stock elbow and moved the car around like that.
