Using Fidle output for Electromagnetic clutch

[downside190]

Hi,

So I have c230 kompressor engine using MS1 Extra, I dont think the engine has a fast idle solenoid but it does have a supercharger that uses an electro magnetic clutch and electric bypass valve.

I read in another topic that they were controlling the magnetic clutch using the fast idle signal. Does anyone know how I would wire this up (if possible) and what settings I would need to enable it? Would I be able to wire up the bypass valve as well or not?

My original plan was to wire up the clutch and bypass valve on a separate circuit to a manual switch in the car so I could activate the supercharger clutch and bypass when needed but I want to know if I have other options available.

While the fast idle output is easy to repurpose on MS2, on MS1, it's limited to temperature. See this link for how to set up outputs that trigger in response to other conditions.
