The same switch will also activate the switch valve.
The newer kits (in the last year) come with a toggle switch in the harness so you can run the pump on high all the time. That is mainly for dyno pulls or when its really cold and the oil is too thick for the pump to run on low.
Interesting. I purchased my kit straight from STS years ago (you were not around then ). That is the information they gave me at the time, that it starts in high, switches to low, and then only goes to high when under boost. I stand corrected.
There are many STS owners who complain about loud pumps. What is your position on that?
