Running a turbo motor with no turbo on it, will it damage the motor?

power might be slightly lower due to the slightly lower CR, but you may pick up a few ponys from the more aggressive turbo cams. like cha-honda said ass long as the oil/coolant lines are plugged you will be fine. fuel and timing curves will remain the same with the ecu you left in the car. if it has a knock sensor the ecu will most likely advance the timing a bit automaticaly. it should run like a turbo car without the boost of a turbo or the restriction of a dead one. shit, might as well put the turbo on there as well if the car doesnt have one already

without the turbo you will have like 50hp haha its like having an intercooler pipe disconnected....you can hear the turbo spoolin up but there's no power
