i take no responsibility for telling you this but there should be a solenoid that comes off the intake manifold, it has a green plug attached to it. Unplugging this will remove the cut. As i said, if you make your engine go boom, its your own fault. If you get a me a pic i cant point it out to you.
I had vtax :(

Um, what green plug? The VSV is the only green plug I can think of, and unplugging that will result in the boost being limited to approx 7PSI if it's still connected.

There is no way that unplugging any electronic component on a stock MR2 will stop boost cut.

if it has AFM, then you can unplug "Turbo Boost Sensor" which should be somewhere on the firewall (if I am not mistaken) or bootwall on MR2s.
GO here for full explanation how to do it. You do not need fancy FCD.

By unplug I assume you mean to disconnect and plug the hose coming from the manifold. Disconnecting the MAP sensor electrical connection will cause a check engine light and limp mode.

Yeah, or unplug it and put a resistor across.
