The turbo is gonna spin past it's limits and blow because there will be no load on it

Yup, it'll over-rev the turbo. Are you running internal wastegate? If so then you could rig the wastegate flapper to stay all the way open. If it's external gate, you could just take the gate off I guess. Would be pretty loud and mike get your engine bay nasty.

yeah i heard that works too, something about some tuners taking out the WG spring so they can tune the off boost tables...
