Good luck. Hard on the car or not, it's going to be a little too loud.

i think it would affect performance because of the loss of backpressure on the turbo
of course it would load as hell 2

When you say no exhaust do you mean no catback or nothing at all... i.e. flames shooting out of the o2 housing

actually your supposed to gain a lot of power from this but be prepared to get pulled over for a very loud car and then ticketed for not having a cat

turbo does not need back preasure thats an old wifes tail

na car might need a bit more back preasure.

only reasion for back preasure would be for low end tork and not much at that.

i would at least run a DP......the best exhaust for a turbo car would look like a megaphone so the gases could expand as they exit

I wouldn't do that if I were you, you're liable to melt a lot of plastic parts ... not to mention its going to be unbearably loud ...
