you can disconnect the boost pipe off the Turbo to I/C it will still run but little power,Tape some foam over the inlet of the I/C to stop any crap entering.The most common reason for a missing tip on a plug is a head gasket prob allowing water into the cylinder it drastically increases the temp in the cylinder and the tip melts. On a cossie it is usually plug 3 or 4. regards
