awhile.. as in a week or so? Then you should be fine to be on the safe side, just put some sort of mesh like a screen on the TB, just to be on safe...

I would only risk not having one during the 5 minute drive to autozone to buy a cheap temporary filter.

Risk it during the 4 trips to autozone? lol

My advice honestly is just common sense. It just seems dangerous with your throttle 2 inches from wide open nothing.
