intercooler not hooked up

[dan2288]

Ok, so im back to a stock turbo now. I need to get a pipe made so that i can hook up the intercooler to the turbo. Is it ok to drive it with that pipe of for now untill i get the pipe made? I mean the intake and exhaust are on, just the intercooler pipe that goes from the turbo to the core

NO!!! Your car will run way to rich from the ECU expecting the extra air flow. If the car would even run at all. Worst case, go get some of the flex tubing from the parts store to make the lower I/C pipe. I wouldn't run the car hard or very long, but i might be able to get you to where you could get a real I/C pipe/hose made.

he is correct. i had the same problem that i needed a pipe made i just went and bought this flex pipe its made of strong rubber and put that sucker on there. i ended up boosting it really hard and it blew off so dont boost just go easy on it.

You want to drive with the rubber hose from the compressor outlet to the intercooler missing? You will go absolutely nowhere with it set up like that.

Imagine putting a straw in a drink, then cutting it above the liquid.. You're not going to get anything in your mouth.
