Default turning on second pump

I am going to run a second intank pump but only when the n02 is activated. I keep reading that a hobs switch is needed. One what is that and two how exactly would you wire up so the second pump is not always on. the only way i can think to do it is to wire the hot lead of the second pump to the switch panel. Once I turn on the first stage it would activate the fuel pump. the only problem I can think of is if you have a boost-a-pump that would cause a problem.

A Hobbs switch is a boost sensor that turns on the pump under boost. You do not have boost so you would turn it on just as you described. Trigger it with your nitrous relay.
