    Default Switching SC14 pulley - positive manifold pressure & brake booster vacuum questions?

    Car - KE70 Wagon

    motor / part in question - ST20V, GTIR intake, SC14 & Razorback ECU.

    problems - Switching SC14 pulley with Razorback ECU, Positive manifold pressure and brake booster

    occurs/started when (if applicable)-

    personal situation (if applicable)

    Hey all,
    So my razorback ECU manual says that it has an output for VVTi/Supercharger.
    I take it means 1 or the other, not both....and that is it set by RPM
    My plan was to retain the stock VVTi, so I am wondering on how to switch the supercharger pulley......
    Like I could just literally put it on a switch, meh don't really like that idea.
    Or piggy back a relay off the VVTi rpm setting....meh kinda shit idea
    I would like to trigger it with TPS%.
    Is there a way of at say 75% Throttle to trigger the SC14 clutch?
    I am thinking of calling Sam from Razorback and asking how to go about it, or if I can send him my ECU to add this option or something like it.....
    The Stock GZE ECU triggers it off HG readings right? like 8HG
    So could I hook up some kind of a pressure switch to the plenum or a vacuum line?

    Also been looking at this pretty closely and wanted to ask a few questions

    Just trying to wrap my head around this, if I 'T' together brake booster lines form 1&4 and run that with a 1 way valve to my brake booster I will still have brakes with positive manifold pressure?
    Or do I use vacuum tank? How does a Vacuum tank go when positive manifold pressure enters the equation?
    Everything i have read about vacuum tanks is for low vacuum with big cams, can't find a thing about boost applications....
    Or do i go for an electric vacuum pump?

    I think I think too much
    Thanks,
    Ali
