correct thats what i want pump gas on one setting and pump plus meth on the other with the flick of a switch

there is more to it than that...not only do you need your meth set up on a switch but you need to be able to control your boost and ecu settings also

unless you have a wastegate solenoid trigger to cut boost to wastegate pressure when your meth kit is off and just have your car be slower than a mini van

just to clarify, as of now i have zeitronics . i want to buy a met kit but not have to have meth on hand at all times. i need a safe way to run meth but also be on just pump when i need

I just noticed you live in central FL. Maybe try contacting TTP? They have been doing the "kill switch" thing for awhile now with good success. Just a flip of a switch and you switch between a non meth map that also cuts power to the meth pump, and your meth map and powered meth pump. Good luck!

yea, ttp does most of my work. i just wasnt sure if i had to invest in another $400 to 500 gizmo

with the GM BCS you can run boost aound ~21psi on wastegate, Jackoftrades has developed a wire harness for map switching, and with the help of Tephra's ALTMAP you can set the meth kit to run how you want it... heres a vid of tephra+GM+Aquamist meth kit:

Aquamist HFS-1, GM BCS, and Tephra v5: together at last!

excellent, thanks

any opinions on the turbo xs utec?

Waste of money and the tune isnt as solid as using the stock ecu.

Use the stock ECU with the map switching patch. Some meth kits can be incorporated to automatically switch to the safer maps (Aquamist,AEM and a few others so far) if there is a failsafe triggered. Also, you can incorporate your Zeitronix WB's alarm output feature to trigger the safer maps at the same time for double the safety. For pennies you can have more protection than you can imagine.

You can also have a manual bypass so you can shut off the alky kit completely and run on your "pump gas" tune only. The AEM kit uses the same bypass switch with the alt-map harness to turn on/off the alky kit while at the same time switching between the respective maps all at once. The Aquamist harness is set up so if you turn the Alky kit off with the on/off button on the monitoring gauge, it switches maps as well.
