water/meth boost activation switch

Ok so here is the one I got.....



It doesn't work. I've ordered a second one and still had problems with it. So I DON'T want that switch anymore. I got my meth system rigged right now into the cabin and I just press a switch with my hand to activate it as I get on the throttle right now. It's ghetto and I don't like it. So if you have a different boost activation switch other than the one I posted, give me a link so I can check it out and hopefully get a new one that works.

Use the Devil's Own one if that isn't working for you. Mine work great and it's easily adjustable. I just installed a AIS kit for someone and that switch worked great though. Top two prongs are the ones you'll use, and hook it up to the vacuum line coming directly off the intake manifold.

snow performance stage 2 has 2 options. boost, or maf activation. It just reads the maf voltage and compensates to the pump.

I suggest you contact OTTP Josh buddy. I use an adjustable boost activation control switch real easy 100% reliable, with a 5 gpm nozzle from Josh a Devils Own part that is superior to the cooling mist one i had. I would prefer a progressive controller, so i just got that from Josh have not installed it yet.

I don't want a progressive controller. I also don't want to keep having to press a button everytime I want to get on it. I'd rather it do it by itself. I'll call josh. But in the meantime, anyone got any links to something else?

Don't want progressive. It's all about the tune. Spray all of it starting down low and you can get the car lean down low and build the tq up quicker. I talked to josh, I'm gonna get their little activation switch. It's similar but more durable.

no problems here with the devils own switch. kinda funny how you have 2 switches not working. i know it is a dumb question, but you are hooked into the correct vacume line right???

That looks like the AIS basic boost switch.

I use it and it works great

doesn't work for me. The first one I had did work, but it broke somehow on the inside. It has a piece that rattles now. So I got a new one and it doesn't work at all.

RAW has a kit with a boost activation switch and you set it with a small allen key for how much boost you want it too turn the pump on at. I have it set too 6psi and it works awesome no problems for 2 yrs....Love the RAW kit.
