Default help save my friends engine lol

Me and my friend (the dumb *** of this story)

We are going to HIN this weekend for the car show and drag racing
I'm not to sure what he has for internals, other then pistons and rods in a b18b

he's tune at 16 psi runs all day on it.

Now here the part where he's a dumbass

He wants to run the turbo wide open for the drag race (take the vac line from the wg) and i told him it's retarded, so to prove it to him what are your guys opinion on this.

a waste gate has an xxlbs spring...when it sees xxlbs boost by way of the vac line it opens to keep boost at xx amount...if u eliminate vac/boost line then engine will keep making boost till you get a nice white cloud of smoke in the back...i say go for it and post after pics....everyone here loves engine carnage pics...

It's called the nog setting. It's a good excuse to do a rebuild.

typically if it was tuned for safety, there is a boost cut feature. Make sure its not programmed for a cut at X amount of boost, then go for it if he wants to blow it up...

I agree with everyone else. Tell him to do it, bring a video camera, and record him blowing it up and post it up here for all of us to laugh at.

I would just let him do it but he's a good , maybe stupid, friend.
and i'd hate to see all the money get put in his car go

Unfortunately for all of us, HIN chi-town is cancelled, so no carnage this weekend unless he finds somewhere else to go.
