    its just a pressure switch all it does is reach its set limit and cuts off the aei unit.

    Re: over boost senser

    You can put the ends on a switch and it could possibly make flames out of the exhaust

    I don't know mate, on mine if the cars idling and you switch it the car cuts out completely. I've never tried switching it on and off quickly though.

    I had one of the over boost wires work free a couple of months back when it touched I had a rather large flame come from the side exit, it just works as an ignition cut.

    Re: over boost senser

    Can the boost sensor be unplugged on a standarded running car or is it not wise to do so

    Re: over boost senser

    it can but no point if running the stock boost. if your running higher than 10/12psi disconect it, and if a clan engine bay is wanted just buy the right size bolt shorten it and then a bit of lock tight and do it up. some samco hoses dont have the hole for this. and so long as your controling your boost your be fine, unless the vacum hose to the acuater splits then you may over boost,

    but youe soon know about it
