Got mine from www.pvl.co.uk about October time. Came with a 1/4 BSP fitting though. Not disastrous mind

you got a link to the ebay one? i searched and searched but could not find the right one

god damn noob i am lol

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.

How they wire in? Only thing i havent looked at yet

cheys03 · February 20, 2011, 11:34:18 PM

Wire in place of your full throttle switch on the TB. Have a search, there are some smart ideas of how to mount the switch.

well i have been told by 2 companies now that they no longer sell them, what to doooooo

cheys03 · February 22, 2011, 12:39:00 PM

Do those two companies include www.pvl.co.uk ?

no I think he's been told by ERL and someone who buys them from ERL.

I MSN'd Dan this link:

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

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?

hayesey · 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.

You could always use a nc pressure switch and then feed a realy and use that for the no switch

hayesey · 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
