Need it MOT'd before I can send it to MSD for mapping.
The engine would see no boost during this time but unsure if letting it idle will be ok/cause any damage?

Idling for long periods of time isn't advisable as it could compromise the rings. But if you take the long route to the MOT station you should be able to bed the rings on the way. Play it by ear. With no boost i doubt you'll do any damage bedding the rings in. A little boost is even helpful but wouldn't recommend unless it was setup and mapped for it.
Following the instructions i posted, i don't even think you'd generate much boost if any.
Once the rings are bed in it'll be fine to idle for a while during MOT etc.
