Can You Drive Without A Intercooler

[DRTYBOOST]

just got a quick question as the title says, I need to drive my car to my new house about 25km away, I have no intercooler on my car, also have no piping, can I drive it or not?

if not ill just have to wait till my new intercooler turns up, if yes how would I drive it not hit boost at all or?

Go slow and put some sort of filter on the intake so youre not sucking dirt.

It will drive like a complete slug, but it will go.

Do I recommend it, No.

mate, you will be able to drive it, but your car will be sucking unfiltered air - so just think about what could go in there - or you could try and hook up some piping to bridge the gap - but this could lead to the same result unless you use some really good clamps and hoses

Whats wrong with a tow truck???

Sounds like to much messing around..

My pipes have blown off away from home and its just a slug that's all. Filter the inlet, you will be fine.

Drive it off boost completely, should drive like an N/A without a filter and will be a bit slugish, just try not to put boost into it, cause it will be pumping fuel in with no boost, and that will foul your plugs quickly..

put some sort of filter on it if u can , if you cant, drive it in the dry and away from dirt and dust.
