you can put a 2 way switch in their put the switch in one direction and the micro switch will work then put the switch in the other direction and the push botton will work i do know on the street a push botton is better i found out the hard way

Arming switch always worked for me. Just keep your foot to the floor and flip the switch on and off when you need to. Ive also seen bottle mounted under the bed so you should be fine in the tool box. Worst case scenario the burst disk goes and you lose your juice. But hey Turbo's are fun too!

flipping a switch back and forth is not that easy in a low 12 to high 11 sec truck i don't want to do all that i just want to watch the road

Whats the difference between doing that and pushing a button?? Unless you mount your button on the steering wheel.

You have another thing coming if you think you can make a turbo kit for 2K, parts along for the I/C, piping, silicone couplers and t-bolts, wastegate, turbo, v-band clamps(they are 50 bucks a pop and you will need 2 atleast), piping and some sort of boost gauge you are going to be over 3K. Also Im guessing the turbo is going to be a cheapo master power or something and some chinese brand w/g, not trying to burst your bubble its just everything looks cheap going into it but the nickle and dime **** adds up.

I'll be running a 38mm tial wastegate and some sort of t67 turbo. I'm not gonna cheap out on parts, but I don't think I need the absolute best.
I honestly expect all the big parts to run me around $1800 and I figure another $500 for stuff like the v-band clamps.
Besides, worst case cenario, I'll buy a used STS kit, but I like my idea because I can buy a few things at a time instead of spending $3000 right now.
