Using failsafe for normal driving

I have a Labonte failsafe. I was wondering if I can wire in a switch to the failsafe to indicate a false failsafe. This way I can run low boost with no injection for times if other people drive it like valet drivers. Would this be safe to do? Can I cruise around like this and use this switch as a power switch for when I really need it? My thinking is it would kind of be like using 2 maps with the flip of a switch. Or is this to good to be true?

This is the almighty Tephra Mod 5.10. It has everything you are trying to imagine in your quest for safety.

It has map switching, it has vallet mode and it has a CEL flash when your car knocks. It also has some other features like NLTS.


Solution provided, you're welcome

Its simple. Just get a Labontes failsafe and depending on what nozzle you have just turn down the flow rating on the failsafe. It will think its not flowing enough an run wastegate psi. When you want to go all out turn the failsafe to the regular flow and it will work normally. Only drawback is it will still spray the meth which will make you run rich. I use this when I drop it off for valet parking or at the dealer. This way they cant get full power.
