Default Can I run turbo w/out hooking it up all the way?

Just finished making sure the turbo fits. Can I leave it in w/out hooking up the charge pipes and IC? Basicially can i just leave it blowing air towards the ground for the next week or so, or will that be bad for the turbo?

no..... the turbo will overspin and destroy itself... either hook up some charge pipes or take it off now

Hey, I am just asking... that is what this form is for. I am not trying to half *** anything... i just wanted to know if it would be bad for the turbo to set it up like this for a little while. Guess I got my answer.
