Any NAPA or Carquest shop will have them.
Ask for a hobbs switch.

is it alright to just power and ground it and put a switch on the power and turn it on whenever your gonna boost, in your opinion...then switching over to a hobbs later on?
i really dont go into boost that often.

dont put a manual switch on it. Just hook it up to an ignition source and a relay to turn it on for now, then you can swap to a hobbs switch later.

it only takes 1 forgetful moment to break your car.

thats why you are buying a pressure switch later on.

Also, thats the whole point of the FMU. To use the stock injectors

You are in Canada........you let your car warm up for the winter don't you ??? If you let your car sit there and idle for that long for warming up everyday.......your pump won't last very long.

As far as the fmu and stock injectors.........i am all stock and i have been running 8-10psi daily for 20 months and more than 20,000 miles with no problems at all.

well im not driving my car much in the winter, but its parked outside and i will have to move it...maybe i should just instal it with the relay like normal and just put a toggle switch on the 12v+ and keep it off for the days i only move the car.
