High Idle Mod

I finally did it! It was easy to do, well, I had to keep my 3 year old daughter occupied at the same time but she is actually my little helper! Anyway, I used a Rocker Switch with a green led (Made by "Pilot" #PL-SW22G) and placed the switch on the right side of the steering wheel next to the vent looking thing. When I switch it on the green light comes on and the idle goes up to 1200rpm....great! When I put the brake on it goes back to normal (625rpm's). When I take my foot back off the brake it goes back up to 1200rpm. It will keep doing this until I turn the Rocker Switch to the off position. I thought some of you guy's had it rigged so when you press the brake it turns off for good until you press the switch again.

I was just outside "playing" with the high idle mod and noticed that the turbo is whistling and producing about 3psi on the Isspro boost gauge.
