Yes you can completely disable it by not engaging the system but why on earth would you do that The car drives in negative boost all the time unless you go wot. That is @Thatruth2001 that is getting the drift office tune. He has talked about going to pir a couple times once he is tuned. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 |

It sounds complicated but it really isn't. The car drives like a NA FRS from 0 to 95 percent throttle and once you go to 100 percent you are greeted with 60 to 40 HP more. A smooth surge of power. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 |

So does it activate once the car switches to closed loop, or when you go to WOT (which is only 80%, our cars never go past 80% throttle)? The car will switch to closed loop anytime you increase throttle from a cruise, not just at WOT.

^ I didn't even read, but that was my guess.
Not going to take input from the TPS. Probably could move that switch around / modify it if you wanted it to open up slightly earlier. Wouldn't be surprised if that was mentioned before as well though :-). |

@fenton is there no way for the controller to reat the throttle position sensor and turn on the E-Charger that way?
to me the physical switch looks like it may wear out over time, or even break if you hammer the throttle (which I tend to do when shifting hard) |

You could do it on tps but that adds cost. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 |

To be fair... my original thoughts on this were similar. Slapping a switch on the pedal seems a bit ghetto... but just a couple weeks ago I was replacing a switch on a friend's car because his brake lights stopped working. In the end, it's a perfectly good option and completely normal. |

I believe at one point car manufacturers had switches mounted under the gas pedal as well.
ie. My 1992 Lexus SC400... Oh look. Lexus IS-F as well... http://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-f...gas-pedal.html |

I think installation should be included as part of the race.
