ASP.NET Bundles how to disable minification

I have debug="true" in both my web.config(s), and I just don't want my bundles minified, but nothing I do seems to disable it. I've tried enableoptimisations=false, here is my code:

//Javascript
bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/MainJS")
            .Include("~/Scripts/regular/lib/mvc/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js*")
            .Include("~/Scripts/regular/lib/mvc/jquery.validate*")
            .Include("~/Scripts/regular/lib/bootstrap.js")
            .IncludeDirectory("~/Scripts/regular/modules", "*.js", true)
            .IncludeDirectory("~/Scripts/regular/pages", "*.js", true)
            .IncludeDirectory("~/Scripts/regular/misc", "*.js", true));

//CSS
bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/bundles/MainCSS")
            .Include("~/Content/css/regular/lib/bootstrap.css*")
            .IncludeDirectory("~/Content/css/regular/modules", "*.css", true)
            .IncludeDirectory("~/Content/css/regular/pages", "*.css", true))

Conditional compilation directives are your friend:

#if DEBUG
            var jsBundle = new Bundle("~/Scripts/js");
#else
            var jsBundle = new ScriptBundle("~/Scripts/js");
#endif
