You don't need one but it can help. If the trans shifts while you are spraying there is obviously more stress on it. If you have a window switch that shuts of a few hundre RPM before the shift point, it could prolong the life of your trans a bit. So basically, if you are on a stock tranny it wouldnt be a bad idea.

Also, pieces like our microedge controller do a lot more then just function as a window switch. So, you are getting quite a few features along with it.

What he said and also if you hit the rev limiter on nitrous it could cause some problems as well.

IMO a window switch is a must.

We offer several different models of switchs

I run the microedge window switch with my A4. There has been times where I have lost traction and the car hit the rev limiter. Do not want to do that when you are spraying. Like Mike@hsw said, the microedge has a lot of features.
