power switch for alky kit

Why not use the stock spray controller on the center console as the switch to SMC alky kit?? Is this even possible?
how can you monitor it in the center console? you mean, the elbow rest console, right?
i mounted mine in the coin tray and can monitor all the lights pretty good while driving....might be moving it though, if i knew where you were talking about.
i would like a switch as well...although, id have to switch maps at the same time

I'm tapping a red led to my A pillar for "low" and a green for "spray on". That way I can leave the coin tray closed and not have to look down for important lights when I'm on high boost. I also plan to run an On/Off switch to block/connect the fused red power wire, maybe with an led there too to light up when power is applied. Its like a $5 Radio Shack mission and very easy to rig...
I don't like the stock intercooler spray switch idea because it is momentary and you don't know what position its energizing. I like to see and feel the switch click on and off.
I'm thinking of totally geeking out and making the power switch also switch my EMS to a lower-boost map below the turn-on threshold of the alky to prevent going high with no alky and frying something. So the procedure would be: see the red led on the a pillar, flip the switch and effectivily turn off the alky and prevent boosting past the threshold of needing it. All with one idiot-proof switch.
I think this kind of forethought is vital if we're going to safely run these systems. The gains are awesome, but they come with (preventable) risk. I want an alky system failure to reduce my engine to a safe slow-turd status rather than pile of broken sh%t.

I pulled out the intercooler switch and put a marine grade rocker switch in it's place. It required a bit of triming to the bezel that held the switch, but when all was said and done, it looks like factory. I am very happy with it.
doesnt the coin tray get in your way if its pulled down while driving? I might just mount the controller next to the coin tray and have a on off switch behind the panel...
