Default Window Switch....

Why do you need one with an A4?

Thanks for the reply.. I have mine set to open at about 7/8s throttle. In most cases, Im well above 3000 when it engages. Can I "assume" the few times a hit wot from a dead stop, not all the fuel/nitrous is goi down the throttle body?

I have my nozzles directly in front of the t-body.

Thanks,

The reason for the window switch is to ensure proper vacuum in the intake to pull the nitrous/fuel mix into the cylinder. Chemically nitrous and fuel do not want to mix and spend all their time repelling each other. If it takes too long to get the mix into the cylinder they will separate. Fuel will stick to the top of the intake, and ignite from the valve heat, while the nitrous will get pulled into the cylinder and cause a lean condition.
