kinda dumb turbo manifold question
I am piecing my next turbo car together in stages... So I was wondering can you install the turbo manifold (w/o a turbo) and use the car? I was thinking of having a plate made to go over the "port" where the turbo usually goes.
My reason for doing this is I want to have my 3" Thermal exhaust put on and I want to have everything done all at once (manifold, downpipe, test/flexpipe and cat-back exhaust), so no further effort would be required when making the transisition from NA to FI.
TIA

Put the manifold on and weld plates over all the holes
I didn't know ALL of the exhaust was routed through the exhaust side of the turbo... so I will myself too.

It will more than likely be more trouble that it's worth. Just do everything that you can first, and then install the manifold/turbo/exhaust all at once.

Well, OK I guess I will have to have 2 testpipes made then. One for the regular header that flares from 2.5 to 3", then another for the downpipe when I get that
