I don't think the ECU "Expects boost" as such, it will provide the correct fueling depending on manifold pressure/vacuum, so without the turbos it would just run, but with no boost.
It does. We've been running a 260 without the turbo's hooked up to the intake and just a pod filter taped onto the throttle body. It doesn't do anything weird. Its just not as powerful
