Post by: cheys03 on February 19, 2011, 08:33:26 pm: The last time I looked on eBay the chap could only supply ones with a normally closed contact. Shame as they were a few quid cheaper.

Searched for 'adjustable pressure switch'. But it's the same chap who can only get normally closed contact switches.

Title: Re: adjustable pressure switches, no longer available
Post by: cheys03 on February 22, 2011, 12:39:00 pm: Do those two companies include www.pvl.co.uk ?

Post by: hayesey on February 22, 2011, 01:32:38 pm: no I think he's been told by ERL and someone who buys them from ERL.

I MSN'd Dan this link:

http://www.epvl.co.uk/pressure_switches/pmn_pressure_switch.html

Although I notice it does say stock "on order".... but that doesn't suggest they're obsolete.

Post by: vwmk3jon on February 24, 2011, 12:51:52 pm: So what's the difference between the pressure switch and an adjustable boost switch to go on the dash? I've got both and just wondering which to use?
Title: Re: adjustable pressure switches, no longer available
Post by: hayesey on February 24, 2011, 01:56:44 pm: not really sure what you mean by an adjustable boost switch to go on the dash, what is it? Is it a wastegate bleed valve? If so then two different things for two different jobs.

The switch we're talking about replaces the full-throttle switch to put the ECU into on-boost fuel enrichment mode.

Post by: dub-disaster on February 24, 2011, 02:49:25 pm: You could always use a nc pressure switch and then feed a realy and use that for the no switch
Title: Re: adjustable pressure switches, no longer available
Post by: hayesey on February 24, 2011, 02:59:57 pm: can do but why add unnecessary complications and more things to go wrong. just use the correct thing in the first place. Even if PVL cant supply that one you'll be able to get an adjustable pressure switch from somewhere

Title: Re: adjustable pressure switches, no longer available
Post by: hayesey on March 15, 2011, 04:24:35 pm: yeah DK got one from there too, they do still do them. It's just ERL who have stopped supplying them as their current generation of Aquamist kits don't use the same parts.
