What bracket? The hoses going into the heater core can be linked together to bypass it, I think there's a recommendation to introduce some kind of slight restriction. Not sure if un-altered flow directly through the heater hoses is a bad thing or not.
You'll have no heat in the winter if you by pass the core though. Can you re-straighten the brass coupling so it isn't rubbing the frame and get a new hose? That seems like the best non-halfassed method.

i just dont think running without a blowoff valve is a good idea?
correct me if im wrong but wont the shock wave caused by the unused pressure be sent back through the turbo, slowing it down and increasing lag. will that pressure not damage bearings in the turbo??
if you have one why not just put it in? just my opinion lad

Turbo is getting hit in the face without bov at any speed, correct. Just slower speed does not cause high enough shock waves. At 6-8 psi your 2554 sized churbo will spool plenty to where bov will extend its life. At last as Rhys said if you have it why not install it.
The lag alone between shifting is plenty of reason for me to install a bov.
I personally have 2 bovs on mine that i switch out when i get bored/annoyed with how each sounds.

I found my BOV to be much louder when I switched to MS. Something about getting rid of the AFM helps them actually work.

Pretty sure he's still using the FPR previously posted. They're known to be fairly safe on an otherwise stock setup, although a wideband can find issues with your fuel pump, regulator, injectors, etc, that aren't otherwise noticeable on a NA system.
