Can I still drive it?
All right, I need to take off my Bipes/AFPR/O2Clamp/FuelPump/Injectors... but I still would like to drive the car.
My thought was that I can disconnect the wastegate arm and run w/no boost. But I know that I still make 1-1.5psi at WOT with it disconnected. Since it actually takes WOT to produce any boost w/the arm disconnected... I think it would probably be safe to take off everything except the 305's and still be able to drive it providing I keep my foot out of it. The 305's would give me a little more fuel in open loop in case I transition into boost w/a little too much throttle. Do you think the 305's will help at all or can I go back to my original blue-tops?
Anybody have thoughts? Have I missed anything?

I drove around for a few days with the wategate wired open. it wasnt fun.
try not to go WOT, watch your boost gauge, keep it just under 0~hg.
but if you do make a pound or two, you should be perfectly fine.
