Once i taxed my ESC, it still worked fine....it just didnt produce quite the same level of power. But you could still feel it kicking in. If the ESC is turned off, technically it would cause a slight air restriction, but likely nothing that would be of consequence.
When i had my first ESC on my other BRZ...I used to remove the ESC (motor/turbine only) assembly and reinstall my std inlet tube. Took 5 mins. This way i was legal for STX events. It didnt matter that i still had all the ESC bits still installed.
So, to recap you should be fine to run however you wish. I bet you get power longer than i did. My batteries were brand new last week. And they were charging back up much faster these last two days, than they were during my track sessions.

Not exactly. My MAF was off 10% with it installed when I did my street tuning on ecutek. Had to rescale. We specifically did WOT runs with it on and off to adjust.
I wouldn't call it slight but still doubt anything bad would happen. Just more of an FYI.
