Default starting h22 without exhaust

Is it safe to start engine with turbo with no headers or exhaust on it to check for leaks or anything that might be wrong? As long as I dont rev it up I should be safe right?

Garret turbo
Tial wastegate
Greddy type rs bov
Intercooler
Charge pipes
255 walbro fuel pump
Socketed and chipped p28
F series manual trans
Aem afr gauge
And boost gauge


Im sure there are a few things ive missed or forgot.
Thanks for the input and help

At least put a down pipe on it. Exhaust can blow all sorts of junk everywhere, and it will be too loud/hot/turbulent to effectively check for any leaks or noises.

Thank you mad Mike. Well use my down pipe to check everything out. Just didn't want to warp valves or anything was my main concern.
