Default Neat boost switch.. (EBC users)

So I was toying around with my steering wheel and the high beam switch the other day and thought of a new way to control boost.

At the moment i had an external switch for my eBoost2 in a blank on the centre console.
I removed the switch and hooked it up to my cruise control stalk, as i don't have cruise in the car.
So now when i pull on the stalk (cancel) it increases my boost. when i push on it (set/accel) it lowers it.

Note: I have 6 boost settings on my eBoost2.

Another Note: The switch on the stalk for (cancel) is a "normally closed" switch so when you pull back, it doesn't do anything until you let go. To solve that you just hook it up to a relay.

You can use it for "push to pass" setting, which means you don't need to let go of the steering wheel.

Very cool. Now if only you could find a way to make it shift too!

cool idea Pauly. I think I will just a fit a switch to centre console for mine. Dropped it off to get Vitesse fitted today so will need to set up EBC for new turbo when I get it back, and will wire up a switch then.
