yo hey..this might be somewhat of a dumb question, but i am seeking help. i know you can start the car w/out an intercooler and it won't really hurt anything..i was wondering if you could make a test run w/out one as well. hollar back.

technically it wont hurt anything only for a test run, but i would suggest that thats the only time you would do that...

Edit: what kind of test run??

Without an intercooler, I assume you are just running an open throttle body correct? You can drive arround, but you will be limited to 2500 rpm and it wont run too well.
