What the failsafe is looking for is that the pump is getting voltage. So for you with no box just a pressure switch if the pump seizes when not being used and you hit boost the pressure switch sends voltage to the pump but the pump doesn't move so no flow. The failsafe gauge sees that there is voltage and no flow so it trips the error mode you have setup. But if the failsafe sees no voltage there is no failsafe active

AEM meth kit- $400, AEM fail safe- $250, solenoid- $100.

Doing some reading the AEM kit with no fail safe is pretty slick in itself. It doesn't monitor meth flow but does with everything else (wiring problems, overheated pump, low fluid) and you can set up a solenoid to cut boost if one of these parameters fail. So really, as long as your meth nozzle doesn't clog the AEM kit in itself can save the motor. Very cool

I'd most likely just have it on wastegate pressure until my meth kit is turned on, then solinoid would activate and run through second solinoid which has a normal state of going through ecu boost control, which would get me full 28 lbs, if kit is turned off it would go back to wastegate pressure.
