A flow sensor like such will tell you exactly if your kit is doing what it is suppose to

Can I buy that flow sensor separately and attach it to my Snow kit?

since you already got snow - check labontemotorsports out

Hi. I noticed that the "B" on the right side of the flow bar on the gauge lit up during the pull. Is this normal? I have mine set up so that it doesn't light up. Curious.

Slow car, looking for your recommendation since you seem to be the person to always test alky kits and have the best overall knowledge. What would be your optimal recommendation for a proper progressive alky kit that includes a perssure switch that provides either a ground or voltage (<5volts) in the line so I can simulate a real turn on/off time with the EMS? Thanks in advance.

I can help you on this.

The "B" led will only hold if the fluid flow is within the "set" window area after triggering. If not, it will go off after 1 seconds.

When "B" is on, you will get full boost or "aggressive map" if you use the maps-switch output to switch map.

this is a system integration question - maybe Richard can chime in?

GTVEVO,

I like to help if I can but I am not sure about the the question.

Are you looking for a PPS system triggered by a pressure switch?

I would assume a system that can be triggered at a certian map pressure or voltage if this is still the best way to do it.

On most system, triggering the system based on boost is perfectly acceptable. Triggering from a MAP sensor will have less hysteresis than a mechanical pressure switch. That is, if you want absolute accuracy on the "onset" point.

One of our system is based on tracking IDC and triggered via IDC %. User do have a choice to trigger it via a MAP sensor. We normally recommend IDC trigger so when mappping the fuel it is easier to pick out all the IDC% above a certain point and just modify them alone.

Am I close in answering your question?

Yup IDC does sound better for more accurate fueling.

So then I'm not getting "full boost" since my B is not coming on? How do I make it so my B comes on during a run? I assume I just have to adjust my "set" window.

One more.. abner,

Don't use contaminated methanol.

Check it for clarity with water.
