So I let a friend drive my 05 STi (stupid idea) and he ended up pushing the car so hard it blew my turbo to bits. One bit of which shot down the exhaust and ended up by the end of my muffler.

My car is a bit of a frankenstein; 05 STi body, 06 WRX Turbo engine w/what used to be an 05 STi turbo.

Lithia says I can't run the car without a turbo, period end of story.

I'm not the biggest car nerd but last time I checked engines can run without a turbo.

My question is if I would be able to get it to run without forking over Big$ for a new turbo by running it naturally aspirated until I get the $ for a nice new turbo or would it just be a rather large pain in the ass by trying to do that?

Thanks guys.
