Icon2 Turbo d16 with turbo charge pipe unhooked from bad ecu

About 3 weeks ago I had a stutter in boost which illuminated my check engine with code four ckp on my p06 chipped and socketed running a crome map. Then found myself unable to get out of limp mode. Later on I had found obd conversion wire harness falling apart (cheap stuff apparently). Never could get it out of limp mode. Troubleshooting time. Flashed ecu with proper basemap. Did nothing. Swapped dizzy. Made it a little worse because the sensor wiring internally was oil rotted due to the seal on the dizzy leak. So when I swapped the internals some of the wires were just flaking off from being moved. Then swapped injectors back to stock from my dsm 450s just to plug in the stock ecu. Then she ran good but had to take my charge pipes off and hook up an air filter with spare ic piping in my garage. Ran better because it wasn't leaning out so heavily under load. Ended up swapping all my dizzy internals into my stock housing how it was and I have a beautifully running motor, however my turbo still hooked up with 2.5 in down pipe with glass pack. I should be able to run my system like that as long as it has oil pressure and coolant running through it and a filter hooked up on the tc right? Eventually I can figure out a better method of fuel management and just hook my intercooler with bov back to throttle body, swap out injectors, and boost again is what I'm thinking. If anyone has advise for me please do I domt wanna damage my turbo.

sounds about right. You won't hurt the turbo still hooked to the car if there's no positive pressure running through to it. "overspinning" occurs with sudden over-pressurization that would physically shift the turbine shaft causing compressor wheel contact with the housing.

Keep a filter on the turbo itself, and you should be ok.

That's exactly what I was thinking, thank you for the confirmation. New ecu and harness won't take long to hustle up.
