MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor/boost sensor/pressure sensor measures the pressure in the intake manifold relative to absolute vacuum.

If you disconnect the pressure sensor, then your ECU will think that you have a steady air pressure and feeds your engine the wrong amount of fuel and gives it the wrong ignition timing.
