Default Advice on turbo setup..

My dilemma is that I have a pretty small window of opportunity to get the kit on my car, the issue is I will still need to have an exhaust made for the car after I get everything on. I was able to get a basemap from my tuner to run if I put my upgraded injectors in the car. On the other hand I was wondering if it would be safer to keep the stock ones in and take the spring out of the wastegate and disconnect some piping.

Either way the car would have to be driven for about two weeks until I can get it propertly tuned due to time conflicts and since this is my DD I have to drive it one way or another..I am just wondering what way would be safest.

the safest way is to leave it alone until it you have time to properly tune it. end of story. and no do not unhook your charge pipes thinking it will be okay, you can easily over spin the turbo if it doesnt have any resistance on it and blow the turbo up...you could in theory remove the wastgate, but I still advise against it
