Disable Power/Economy switch?

[Brutus]

How would the TCU run if I disconnected the Power/Economy switch to run something else in its place.. like say a dual stage boost controler?

Would it revert to Economy or Power settings if you cut the wires?

I know its silly, but I think the Power/Economy switch would be a perfect place to run the boost controler, surly someone else has done this and can lend some insight?

Ideally I would like to keep it in Power mode at all times with a push button low/high boost switch (14/20psi) versus a toggle switch that looks out of place mounted in the cabin.

I forget the wiring off the top of my head but it'd be real easy. Just jump the wires such that it's in power mode and leave em there and wire the switch to whatever you want.

When I did it i just took the switch out of the console and left it hidden under the console on power mode. Then I bought another power/eco switch from the junkyard and wired it for high/low boost.

Now that sounds nice and simple. Thanks for the tip! Im off to the junkyard.
