yeah it started up and worked exactly as it did with the sensor 
but check engine light was on.. (i drove 30 kms without the sensor lols, then remembered bout unplugged MAF)
i think its pretty cool, considering that car stalls when u pull the connector out
so the question is , what readings ecu gets? or just uses its intelligent guess from rpms and tps?

It's probably 'guessing' or using stored data. If you run the car without the sensor a few times, it'll register an MAF fault and tell you about it.
I forgot to plug in the MAF on my Toyota pickup once and it would die soon after starting. The SVX's ECU is apparently more capable, being able to 'limp' the car home instead of being disabled by one faulty sensor.
