Default temporarily drive car without supercharger?

i want to send my supercharger in for a rebuild, can i just connect the missing link of the supercharger and still drive the car? im sure it'll run rich because its tuned with aem. what other problems do you guys foresee? and dont say the lack of hp!!!

It all depends on your tune. I just did that last weekend for an SCCA race it other than changing VTEC so it was not by vacuum it worked fairly well. AFT was between 12 and 12.5 at WOT so it was liveable.

Same here I drove mine for a week because the tensioner bolt broke and I just zip ties the belt out of the way. Just stay out of the throttle and you will be ok
