Start car with no intercooler?
 

I've had a oil leak from my turbo oil drain pipe. I've removed the turbo and replaced the pipe, gaskets etc but want to check its no longer leaking by turning the car over but would prefer to do this before I put the intercooler back on. Will this cause an issues if just ran for a few minutes or do I need to out it all back together properly?


Thanks,

Don't think it will cause a problem as long as just on tick over. I'm sure someone will tell me I'm wrong.

just put it on and dont tighten the jubilees..... two seconds

No boost = no additional cooling requirement, will be fine.

Thanks all

Doubt it will run as maf wont be seeing any flow of air

hence you just slip the intercooler on without tightening the jubilees
