You would be looking for the BPP Electronic WOT switch that hooks into your car's Throttle Position Sensor. It detects Wide Open Throttle and sends the "OK" to the Nitrous system to start spraying.

We have these for $89. Email me if interested or if you have any more questions.

badazz7800, you can mount the microswitch like this:

However, I second the BPP WOT switch or NX WOT switch. Much easier and if Traction Control kicks in you won't be spraying nitrous into your engine and thus resulting in a big KABOOM and bye bye engine. With the BPP or NX WOT switch when Traction Control engages the BSM shuts the power to the throttle and the WOT switch stops and nitrous doesn't flow :D. But if you make sure you have traction control and/or AH off then the microswitch will work just as this is mounted :D

No real advantage. Very Very Very slim chance BPP will fail closed. My kit came with it, so I installed it.
