just pull the small hose off the turbo it will run with no boost afaik

turbo's run low compression mate so if you took the turbo of it would be very low powered and just as heavy on fuel!you'd need to raise the compression to make it run like a none turbo and efficiently!that means taller pistons and alot of work if it could even be done not sure what space the valves have etc so would be a night mare and dead expensive lol,granny drive thats your best option
