Im sorry I could not find any specific threads on this....so mods you can delete this or throw it in the newbie section...

My question is, will my engine run at all with the IC piping totally off?

Sure it will, but there has to be a way that air can go to the intake manifold. What do you want to do, connect the turbo directly to the throttle body? You could start the engine up, but if you haven't connected the turbo to the intake you won't get any boost.

i think he's asking if a regular turbo set up will run (not work right) with the ic piping off, and the answer is yes, however, if the mafs isn't close to the t/b or atleast still somewhere on some sort of intake pipe, it's gonna run hecka ugly.
