TURBO Seized - 91 940SE

Group -
My turbo seized up on my 91 940SE. My indie can't get me in until Dec. 2. Car still drives OK but is a bit sluggish. My question is, will I be doing any damage by driving it normally in the meantime? Thank you! -Scott in St. Louis

    I think to be on the safe side it would be wise to wire open the overboost relief valve. It can't be too healthy (I'm thinking overheated exhaust valves) considering the back pressure a seized turbo would cause. -- Dave
