J/W because if you put a dp on it and check for leaks you have to put all the heat shileds back on and intercooler and I was just wondering if you could do it with it off?

 

you may be able to get it started, but if you think about it thats whats connecting your turbo to your t/b. sooo i wouldn't do it. it probably would not run.
if you ran a hose from the compressor to the t/b then you could. just don't drive it like that.
