Like an injector cut-off?
I'll post pics and do a full step by step writeup when I wake up, I'm far to tires right now. Anyway, it disables IMA and any form of regen with the click of a switch. I was amazed on how much more responsive the throttle is at speed with it disabled because it's not background charging the IMA. I definitely recommend you put this in, all it requires is a little splicing, it's honestly not hard. As for why people put them so far away, idk. But I have mine just left to the steering wheel.

If anyone in socal wants this done, I'll do it for you for free! It's a great mod to have and it's extremely useful.
