Exclamation Where 2 buy boost pressure switch???

Hey guys, i recently bought a 01 WS6 with a procharger.... i have an aeromotive auxilary fuel pump, and when i turn the car off the fuel pump keeps running... i checked the relay for the fuel pump and it is good, then i checked the boost pressure switch and it was still reading with the car off... so i need a new boost pressure switch... where can i find one? i have looked everywhere and can not seem to find one... anyone have any links to point me in the right direction?? it is the D1SC procharger...
do i get it from ATI? or can i find it somewhere else? i tried jegs, and found nothing....
any help would be GREAT! thanks!

It sounds like you have constant power to the pressure switch and with the car turned off there is no vacuum to keep the switch open . So if you move the power supply to a switched wire that only gets power if the key is on like maybe the windshield wipers or the stock fuel pump supply wire it should fix the problem. I would think.
