If you don't connect the hose back onto the actuator it'll make whatever boost it wants!!

Do you mean weld the actuator rod so it can't move in or out? If that's the case, it would be just as bad as leaving the hose off the actuator, and the turbo would keep on boosting till you lifted off. Great way to destroy an engine and its turbo.
