Default Can I drive to my fabricator?

Okay, so I have a car trailer but IDK if I can get it tomorrow and the schedule is getting tight to get everything done, fabricator is gonna need the car for at least a few days to make my downpipe.. hes 35 miles from me..

What I need to know is on a basemap from Evans if I am okay driving the car down there if I stay under say, 3K RPMS.. I have absolutely no exhaust coming off the turbo, just the open hotside.. would I be okay driving it there?

P.S the car runs extremely smooth on Jeffs basemap he sent me!

based on the fact that you have a top mount manifold I am gonna say no because you will melt everything behind the turbo

the only thing behind the turbo is the heater lines and i have an alloy craft bracket on those.. could I just mount some aluminum there for now? This was my main concern too..

keep in mind the hood insulation thats under the hood too. Imo its just way too much heat in the engine bay with the potential for something to go wrong (fire) for such a long trip. Do you have AAA?
