Running without a turbo

Quick question! If a turbo goes out, can you remove it and run without one? Is it cheaper? Any suggestions?

yea. you just unplug it and your good to go. also you get better gas mpg over a 2.5 rs

lol.. ok no you can't just run a wrx without it..suggestions is to keep the turbo in the car until you fine a replacement. better yet just stay off the car until you get a replacement.

No I'm kidding. I created an account on this forum so I could ask silly questions. Just something to do in my spare time. Thanks mistaanime.

lol you picked a good name to do that. =p

but yeah running with out a turbo on a car setup for one....well you're gonna have a bad time.....if it's just a stock turbo you're running just find a used TD04 in good condition off someone who did an upgrade. You can find them fairly cheap.
