    That's like 26xx pages long got a page number whne who ever did it?


    My idea was to run a actuator to pull it open or something. because it opens under vacume and closes during boost. and to make simple vacumm circuit i not sure how i would do it keeping it simple. none simple is touse a 3 way mac valve and just run a per rotor vac line drilling and nipple after the throttle plate pre rotor and the stock boost line and make it swap when the fail safe is triggered.

    Sorry, I don't run meth on my supercharged setup but there are at least 3-4 of the boosted bros (in that thread) that do.

    I don't know if any of them run a similar activation setup like how you described, but my suggestion is to ask/post in the thread I gave you.

    That thread I linked is where most of the TW 2nd Gen boosted guys share, collaborate and troubleshoot.
