kinda OT: how do I put my turbo kit on and run NO boost?
It's itr related..... 
I can't get in to any hondata dealers locally (they're all ***** or booked up for the most part). I need to have my base map rescaled + burned to a chip, and the boost option on my hondata turned on, so in the meantime I'm up **** creek.
I need to send my hytech header off to it's new owner and I can't have any downtime due to work.
So..... can't I just install the turbo without running any boost? It's internally gated, but can't I just do something to hold the wastegate open?
-tia!

What turbo and can you take a pic of the housing where the wastegate attaches? It could be as simple as detaching the wastegate from the wastegate flapper. It'll always stay open and prevent any boost being built.... or should ;p

The wastegate diaphragm and housing will basically melt/break down if you leave it open all the time, it will never have a chance to cool. Just be patient and don't install it until you have the tuning to back it up. buy a cheap **** header to get you through...

Or just leave it, install your boost gauge and drive like a granny. I found it wasn't really that hard to stay out of boost during normal driving conditions

My internal wastegate has no issue with heat if it is open or closed.

Just dont use alot of load (light on the gas pedal) and you will stay out of boost. It is not hard to stay out of boost.

It can be cheaper to chip the ecu and have Real fuel management..... Thats my point.

I was thinking the same thing. Nate with my turbo it is pretty hard to stay out of boost really. anything more than 25% throttle it would roll into boost at as low at 2000rpms
