Question about running a turbo motor without exhaust..

[pvholgado]

out of car.
Is there an issue with runninig a turbo motor with the YH and turbo mounted without any exhaust piping ? I want to run my "extra" motor to video it running for a prospective buyer. I can't think of any issues but I wanted the forums opinion. thanks in advance.

Except for the Corvair, all other YH applications I can think of are non-aspirated. Blue Flame Six, Marine, etc.

Not like you can demonstrate boost sitting on the floor!
