Default Procharger with dual electric cutouts...

I have dual electric cutouts dumped just off each header, and they both leak when closed. With a Procharger, will these leaks effect power/boost levels?

With a blower? Not really, infact they might help things.

You might look into boost actuated cutouts, cablebandit posted about them. They open when your motor gets under boost, pretty cool if you ask me.

I don't know about systems that are available, but this is really easy to do. Just buy a "hobbs" pressure switch and wire it in series with your cutout ciruit.

----cutout arming switch------hobbs switch------cutout

Seriously, just splice it in. That way, when the system is armed, the cutouts will open at whatever PSI you set at. Only downside to simply splicing them in; you can't flip the switch and open them at any time. They'll have to be at the specified boost level. Not a big deal to me and the system is totally automatic

http://search.ebay.com/hobbs-switch_W0QQfkrZ1QQfromZR8

tons of them on ebay



Also, you could do this with a "window switch." Most people use them for Nitrous applications, but I'm a multitasking kinda guy

hope this helps... or atleast gets the juices flowing

My car only gained 7rwhp 2rwtq with the cutout open. I saw a drop of almost 1psi.
