MitsuStyle - View Single Post - Using a Hobbs switch to control a 3 way switch

**scheides** · 12-09-2009

Ya, ATPturbo.com used to sell cutouts that were actuated with a WGA just like on an internaly-gated turbo. They had different psi it would open at, pretty slick IMHO. This electronic setup seems like a PITA.

Really though, what do you want it to do? Open when you do WOT right? Then close when you are not WOT? Well with this 3 second BS you really cannot accomplish that. You hit WOT, trip the hobbs switch, and 3 seconds begin. You rip through a gear as the thing opens, grab the next gear as its fully open, then the next gear its fully open the whole time. You let off, it begins to close, but takes 3 seconds. What if you get back on WOT again right away? Its a conundrum!
