Running without the sc belt

I am going to drive the car without the sc belt on and i was wondering if this will cause problems with the tune? Does the tuner make adjustments for a supercharged car that will make it run rich or cause problems without the belt?

If you dont have a 2bar map special tune it will run wery rich at WOT.
Ordinary driving will not be affected.
Edit: noticed that you got an FMU, if thats the case ill guess that youre PCM forless tune dosent add extra fuel for WOT, if so it will run just fine eaven at WOT.

So it sounds like the tuner will add fuel if you don't have the fmu. The car feels like someone put 2 hugh guys in the back after the tune. The same way i would guess it would feel if it was running to rich or to lean. If it was rich it will probably get worse. I wasn't running up to potential before the tune so maybe the tune made it worse since there could have been issues before. I guessed the injectors might be bad so i figured it wouldn't hurt to replace them since i will need bigger ones after the rebuild. I redid the signature since the ! was on the line above the fmu.

You'll be fine to drive it normally, but if you go WOT you can expect to not have it running perfect. The car is tuned for boost, so when you are driving around normally without getting deep enough in the throttle where you normally would see boost, then it should run the same as when it still had the belt on.

I can attest to all of this as mine threw a belt about a year ago, and I drove around on it fine for a few days without the belt. I even did a couple of WOT hits without the belt as well as initially I didn't know it threw the belt until after a WOT run it felt very slow and noticed from the boost gauge I wasn't getting any boost.
