OT: Disabling turbos Options

[fiid]

Hey hey,

So my project is not a huge world away from actually running - however - I have a lot of work to do before I have all the turbo plumbing and control work completed.

I am thinking of getting the thing running by just sticking an airfilter on the throttle body instead of anything more introcate.

So - that would mean I have two turbos - plumbed on the exhaust side, but not on the compressor side.... which is not ideal....

I wondered if one of the following options would be useful:

1) put some wire through the turbine and physically hold the wastegates open.

2) plumb the compressor output directly to the wastegate with a quarter inch air outlet.

3) this is a stupid idea - finish it before you drive it.

What do you guys think? It doesn't feel like a great idea, but taking the turbos off and plugging all the lines is probably more work than getting a minimum setup running anyways.

Also - where would you go for a good selection of pipes, bends and seals for turbo plumbing?

TIA,

Fiid.
