Everyone on here is going to say don't drive the car nowhere until you get tuned. Get tuned first cause with the more air coming in your ecu is probably saying wtf real loud. Shouldn't of even started it up. Double check all hoses and search for how hoses are routed. Sure there are tons of post of ppls builds that have them.

all these components need a vacuum line signal from the intake manifold. you can use a large 1/4 vacuum line and then tee off to other components as you need.

If the piping size for the maf is close and you stay out of boost, the car doesn't know there is a turbo there.

Do you realize the slow destruction of the engine you are causing? It only takes the computer one false read or one little bit of acceleration and boom, you're done.

Can you take a video of this untuned drive? Curious to see what the car is like during that kind of a drive.
