Default Is it bad to boost with no o2 sensor?

Something in the road ripped the wires on my o2 sensor, will boosting the engine do any damage, or detonate my engine?

You are in closed loop at wot, but you not always at wot when boosting. A properly sized turbo should see boost in open loop.

Depending on your enigine management you might be able to force it to run in closed loop all the time.
