As it should. The ecu still needs the map sensor for a reading. It just doesn't matter whether that reading is atmospheric pressure/vacuum/or positive manifold pressure.

Removing the hose (and plugging the hose so you don't have a vacuum leak) doesn't do anything other than remove fuel cut and pegging the oem boost gauge to atmospheric.

Removing/Disabling the sensor puts you into limp mode because the ECU detects an open/short in the PIM circuit.
