What to do when turbo is away?

i need to send the turbo back for warranty work does any one know if there is somethign i can use, while the turbo is being worked, to drive the car? Something that attaches from the manifold to the downpipe? i threw away my headers so i cant use them any other ideas?

Nothing that I know of will work other than putting the headers back on, or not driving that car for the time being.

When in a similar situation, I just bolted up a flange to the mani, flange to the DP and then welded in some exhaust tubing between them. Worked fine while the turbo was getting rebuilt.

What kind of turbo was it? I might have something I can lend you...

No. Why would I? Most of the time I drove it with the turbo intalled I wasn't in boost... ;)
