If you disconnect the wastegate actuator arm (so it doesn't boost) you should be able to drive it.
It will feel like it has a half blocked cat converter
If you don't drive it hard, you won't even need an exhaust (it stays quiet).
But recirculate your cabin air

Disconnect the flapper from the arm altogether.
It will still boost (not into significant positive pressure) but it will be safer than accidentally tipping into boost then bang.
I have done this.
Why not tow the car to the next shop?

when i did my avo kit, i just drove it very conservatively to the tuner. stayed below about 2500 rpm all the way, no problems. it just took me a while to get there

Just drive it off boost. No need to worry about wastegates being connected or disconnected if you take it easy.

I bet it didnt take half as long to get home!!!
Unless you went the "shortway" thats what I ended up doing I think the drive went from around 50ks to nearly 200ks must have made a wrong turn somewhere
