im about to install my turbo kit on my ka24de and i have somewhat of a downpipe right now, about a 2 feet or so long, and i need to beable to drive it to the muffler shop across town and was wondering is it safe for the turbo to be drivin with only that much pipe on it? i know it will be hella loud but it has to get there lol. thanks!

ive drove open downpipe for a lil while. its perfect safe for the turbo, maybe even better hp because of less restriction.

Why not just tow the car? You have a tow hook on the front. Just have a friend/mom/cousin/whatever pull you.

Is it really that far to the shop?
