Since I need a timing belt and other things, I'm trying to keep it easy on the car. I want to stay out of turbo range, i.e, use the cars own power.

Where in RPMs does the turbo kick in? I also want to know to keep it under a certain speed on the highway because I'm assuming 80 is in the range.

Has nothing to do with speed or rpms per se. Has to do with the load you put on it. Just dont depress the gas pedal too far and shift under 3k and uwill be golden

If your TB and related parts (pulleys, pump) are toast the act of driving it exposes you to risk staying out of boost would mean using higher gears for lower speed driving and lugging the engine which is a different type of strain on the ol EJ

So you're saying don't shift too early? I have a 5EAT and I usually have it shift around 1800-2500 (again, being easy on it) but in shift mode I shift around 2-2500 RPM

the turbo isn't too difficult to remove.
or a simpler solution would be just remove the intercooler... boom no more boost!

Forces on the timing belt are almost entirely independent of RPM and power output.

What do you intend to gain by staying out of boost?
