Can you run MPI Apex without driving S/C?

Hey guys,

I just got a 0 mile 07 Apex MTX SE with a Stage 2 MPI on it. The lower pulley was wobbling somewhat so I removed it and was wondering if I could run this sled without running the blower.

I need to wait for different pulleys anyways and wouldn't mind getting some break in time on the motor without boost. So can I run this thing without driving the blower?

The only thing I can think of is the motor may not be able to breathe well enough sucking through the S/C.

Yep, suggested in other thread.

I guess the worst that could happen is she'll run pig rich but I can adjust for that. Thanks.

Run w/o SC

I did just that by unplugging EFI controller and pulling the silicone blower outlet hose from bottom of intercooler. Ran like this for 750 miles.

Perfect, thanks guys. I plan on keeping this one for awhile so I want a nice break in.
