bit like a sport button on some cars, it basically ups the boost from everyday drivin to track day drivin, so that u dont always have it sucking away ur fuel, so say on the way to work u wont want to be raggin it about, where as at some traffic lights n a guy with a rover 400 thinks hes funny in the fast lane.

starlet glanzas have a simmlar switch its a toggle switch for HI and LOW boost

my idea ws to be able to increse the boost when racing and hen not racing keep the boost at a normal preasure but do it in a way that my dad would not discover this lol but then i'd probs need to also change the fuel intake also when increasing the boost but mibby gettingg an electonice bleed valve if possible to be able to set back to normal if turned up from the dash board...
