If you do not have enough back pressure, your turbocharger will not function properly. Back pressure is the force that the exhaust gases exert on the turbine blades in a turbocharger. The turbine blades are what spin the compressor, which pressurizes the air going into the engine. If there is not enough back pressure, the turbine will not spin fast enough to compress the air, and your engine will not get the proper amount of air, causing it to run lean. A lean engine is an engine that does not have enough fuel, and can cause damage to the engine.
