Is it bad if I run my greddy turbo with stock exhaust?
I have a greddy turbo, with an upgraded 2.5 inch down pipe, and I want to buy a wideband over an exhaust rite now. I was wondering will running the stock exhaust hurt the turbo from the back presser that will be built up?
I plan to buy an exhaust, but just not yet, most likely in july some time. I will also be running the stock 5 - 5.5 lbs of boost. Will running the stock exhaust hurt anything reliability wise? thanks.

A very wise choice.
Running the stock exhaust will do no harm to the turbo or any other piece of the system. The added restriction will cause a slight decrease in efficiency relative to a more open system, but nothing's going to break, if that's what you're worried about.

Right now, i am running with a test pipe and otherwise stock exhaust. What kind of restriction is there between the cat and the muffler? Say, if i took the muffler off like you did, how close would that be to say, a 3" exhaust with a decent muffler. Basically what i am saying is that i am broke and would enjoy more power and better spool and i am thinking of removing the stock muffler.
