Will it damage turbo if I remove boost pipe from carb-turbo?

I'm picking up my swap donor car today, and it has a blow-through carbed turbocharged V8. It isn't tuned right, so for the drive home I'm wondering if I can just remove the boost pipe that connects the turbo to the carb. That way, the turbo would just be boosting into the atmosphere and the engine would be running with no boost. Will it damage the turbo to boost into the atmosphere with no resistance? If I CAN do this, how long is it safe to leave it that way?
