NOT safe. The car is basically making "unlimited boost" when you disconnect the hose from the wastegate.

please clarify what you are doing?? Are you disconnecting the MBC from your waste gate actuator? If so, then of course you can boost more, you have no control of your boost pressure, your car is boosting as much as it can... with no control....<=engine goes BOOM

How many PSI are you hitting and how long have you been doing this?

kaboom! the wastegate needs to dump pressure so you dont overboost and blow your motor up. connect it back up!

How are you monitoring boost? Just because it says 30psi on the boost gauge does not mean it's boosting that much. Again, you can't control boost when the hose from the wastegate is disconnected.

LOL, who told you that this was going to be a good idea so I can send him an E-SLAP!

Yeah, the whole thing of having a wastegate is to control the amount of boost by stopping the turbo from overboosting and blowing up your engine in the process. Think about it!
