can you test that the wire on JS11 is going all the way back to pin 1V on your harness?

Cruse is for babies (jk), I cant remember the last time I used it (multiple trips to FL from VA (1200 miles). Something about cruise I don't really like + better gas mileage w/o cruise too.

Yep, every car I have ever used cruise in always over compensates with throttle when going up hills and such. from my '82 datsun to my throttle by wire '10 STi. But this is just me, YMMV (literally)

My boost gauge makes the best mpg gauge.

you can adjust your pedal by as little as 1% and see a huge rise in vacuum and still maintain speed. This equates to much better mpg. I try to maintain 10~hg. or more, otherwise the turbo is spooling and i start dumping in gas...which is incredibly easy on my setup, where I can hit 12psi with little throttle.

the greddy spools at 3k and i sit at almost 4k on the freeway. cruise would probably kick it in and out of boost alot.
