A better idea would be to just pinch off the hose, assuming an external waste-gate. I would only do this with a boost gauge of some-sort in place, even a Mity-vac that has a pressure reading option, so that before / after can be compared. Over boosting for too long can very quickly lead to piston meltdown.
