not a good idea....don't push it at all until you have it retuned.

Patient: "Hey doc, it hurts when I raise my arm like THIS." "What do I do?"

Doctor: "Don't move your arm like THAT"

What this means to say is the answer is right there in front of you; if you're afraid of blowing it up if you push it here & there, then don't push it here & there. Consequences are a damaged engine from washed rings,damaged rotating assembly which could destroy the engine and the turbo, plain and simple. Don't get specific, because no one can know that. Just know that you need to NOT drive it and go to the tuner.

you know the consequences, the boost cut is to keep pedal happy children from not boosting on a basemap, hopefully it kicks in very early.
