ONLY when i want to do i see boost. and i can merge on the highway and all with out seeing boost. I don't drive from the stop light with it floored. so for my driving 90% of the time it wouldn't matter if i had a stock map or a map meant for boost since its in vacuum or 0psi. I'm not saying that running around with the belt off the same as it is when its on, but you can drive "normally" without the belt. when i was running their small pulleys and knew that the belt wouldn't last long, i still ran for 3 days with no issues, over 150 miles. i just drove normally, even under full throttle just to see what would happen, it just ran a little rich.
Again im not telling people to go running out on the track without the belt. BUT you make it sound like its extremely dangerous and its not. IF you have to adjust your driving style a little to make sure you dont get into the part of the map meant for boost then do that.. I can make it the 35 mile round trip to and from work without ever seeing 1psi lol

No belt on the SC = air is being pulled through the SC, rather than the SC pushing air and boost being bled off.
Think about it.
Whether MAF or MAP tuned, AFR is determined by airflow and torque demand. You won't "run rich" because you have no boost.
