The hidden switch in the above post is great. Sadly it wouldnt be easy enough access for what I need!

You can use the headlights washer switch. They are useless anyway

I had thought about this! But most of the time my elbow is resting on the button... which would be fun :-)

the steering wheel on the S has blanking plates for cruise control. maybe the switch can go there? it might even have wiring present through the steering assembly.
surely the best place for a nitrous switch is somewhere where you have both hands on the wheel so your in full control...

That's where i have my switch for low and high boost. But i had to buy a steering wheel from USA to get the cruise control buttons and use them as boost control switch. I am with veehexx on that you do want to have both hands on the steering wheel when nitrous kicks in

Surely the switch just engages and primes the system and you also have a throttle switch such that the nitrous only flows at WOT?

i've never used nitrous, or know how the controls works, but i'd rather have it on switch rather than pedal control.
WOT is used far to often on my S

As stated above, the switch does prime the system ready for use, and nitrous flows at WOT via a TPS switch.

However, if you are already at WOT then you can flick the switch to engage the nitrous. For that reason it needs to be easy to access.

Thanks for the comments regarding the sterring wheel, mine has no buttons on though, but maybe this is something I can look into.

Thanks Ross, I've read that thread already, that's where I got the idea for making a switch panel from :-)

I think this is the route i'll go down
