1. Rev limit. This requires chipping your ecu, or having an aftermarket one. Easy to undo when you get your car back. I am thinking of building a circuit for this, though I don't want to splice wires. Power transistor comes to mind.
2. Disable the turbo somehow. Maybe force the wastegate open without damaging it The boy racer might figure this one out though. I've read that the ecu disables the turbo when in reverse gear - how?
3. If you got a dump valve, I guess you could just get it to dump all the time. I don't though and that might badly affect fuelling.
Thoughts? Ideas?
Don't leave the car at someone you cant trust.
