Just curious if it will hurt anything to run a turbo with no DP attached. I need to get my car to the fab shop. All I need to do is pull it in the trailor and back out at the shop.

um as long as the exhaust gasses dont hit anything, but being in the engine bay id imagine they would, can you put a turn down on it to direct them down or not on anything? but as long as its short and just idle speeds on and off the trailer you "should" be ok.

I too would think you would be ok, just make it QUICK, keep the RPMs down, and make sure anything behind the turbo isn't going to melt obviously. I have idled cars with no DP on before for about 2mins.
