So Im picking up the Accent from MWood next weekend and I do not want it to be in boost at all. Theres a couple ways I came up with to avoid this, just looking for opinions on which would be best.
Remove Wastegate - I dont want to do this simply becasue it will be way louder.
Disconnect intercooler pipe to throttle body, put a straigt piece and a filter there instead - this sounds like the best way. it will still be in boost at times but would not effect the engine/tuning in any way.
Opinions?

Take the pipe off just before the maf and stick a filter on it. It wont see boost and will run stock, there will be a turbo in the exhaust but it wont be doing anything.

On my internal wastegate i can just disconnect the actuator arm and it drives like stock (wastegate always open), but i take it this has an external..
You'd need to connect the the MAF to the TB as well.. also the turbo will still spool up, and might get to spin up too fast (since the compressor meets with no resistance)
I would just drive it slow instead of disconnecting anything..

Thats exactly what I was planning on DDD. Just wanted to see if there was anything I was overlooking.
And it needs to go on the freeway so it will hit high enough rpm to boost.

i would just drive it as is.. if you don't have the throttle in like 40-50%+ it will hardly boost.. even if your at 4k rpm on the highway, as long as the throttle is low there will be no boost.. even if you hit a couple lbs, its not going to hurt anything.
if your overly concerned, hook up the MAF to the TB elbow and then a filter.. car will run like stock, but drive odd. i had a charge pipe pop off the srt-4 a couple weeks ago, and it responded strange to high throttle.
