Yes you could fry your engine at higher rpm/speed plus a few other things you don't want to spend your money on.
Adjusting it would be better or bigger exhuast housing. I believe the 16 cm doesn't have wastegate but not sure.
Our turbo's have smaller air tunnel which gives the engine more boost at lower rpm/speeds but to much boost at higher rpm/speed without wastegate.
Check the archives or TDR magazines should have plenty of info.

Disabling mine sure didn't hurt anything. With the 340hp plate & 5000' elevation, I got 32psi & 38psi @ sea level, so I left it disabled. #ad

I did run around for quite sometime without one. I have only floored a couple of times. I did hit 30 psi. The turbo is fairly restrictive so running to much boost will probably cause a lot of back pressure. Could blow a gasket or etc. This is of course with the cam plate forward. If you are completely stock you should be safe.
YOU ARE YOUR OWN WARENTY STATION !
I just put a new waste gate on that illflem gave me. I backed the rod off some. I push about 22 psi. I gonna the next time I work on the truck will try to adjust for 25 to 27 psi.

I ran mine dissconected and wired shut for over 100k with out any problems whatsoever. 43 to 53 psi. I had it so it would bleed off to 45psi by pinching the end of the steel hose and cutting a slot behind that. nees very little flow through the pinced end and usually bout 1/4 way through the cut. at 372hp.
