Brake Boosting FTW!!11
I read through that whole 20 page novel posted a while back on brake boosting and it seems like nobody chimed in and tried to do anything.
So today I finally hooked up a push button SPST switch up to wire 101 on the ecu and it work perfectly. The car will now do a burnout and brake boost with the switch off, and best of all the brake lights still work. I havent got a chance to see if the cruise control is affected and I couldn't tell you if I threw a CEL because mine is on permanantly.
I can now build 6-7 psi in a 3rd gear roll
thanks to Hal and Phunk for answering my questions

yeah with the standard greddy they spool up pretty fast, but with the APS extreme and bigger single turbos coming out now itll work just fine.
What exactly was it doing at part throttle?

i modded it on the patch harness for the haltech. Hal confirmed that the haltech didnt use pin 101 so I could just cut it anywhere on the harness. Then I ran a long wire to the driver side and hooked up a push button switch by my right knee

I didn't want to splice any wires so I just put a switch on my brake light fuse but that disable my brake lights This is very helpful for Rear-Mount or ST/TT with big a$$ turbo but I'm always afraid that the other car might slam on my when I break Also after awhile VDC/Airbag light comes on in my case..lol

sounds difficult to pull off perfectly...i should get on this so i can crush this turbo civic when i go back to my home town. My friend is talking a lot of ****....I used to kill him from starts, but highway races he would take me (he is 350 hpr...i was 260)...gotta love having the same torque but earlier!
