    You sure the switch is bad, and you didn't just burn out the fuse for it? (if you've fused it). I've blown a 2A fuse on the switch a couple times which makes the switch not work (and I thought the switch was bad at first). Finally upped it to 5A and haven't had a problem.

    I double checked my spreadsheet and it was 12.6 but yeah, it sat in boost for long periods. I could have slowed down but it was just cruising well at speed so gas be damned.

    I've checked the fuse and the ground, still no workie. I may have to pull the dash apart to do a thorough check on the switch.

    I guess 12.6 is what you calculated on your trip?

    my UG average mpg is still slowly working up from the I got it down to over Christmas break. I don’t know or really care what I’m really getting right now.

    Finished up installing a Toytec "Ultimate Lift Kit". Spendy but a really nice kit. Gotta bleed the rear brakes (installed extended line) then hitting some test dirt.
