What kind of set up did you get?

Pressure switch needs to be off the air tank, grounded on one end and the other connected to the relay to the compressor.

I have just basic kit. I ring to Ksport and they said that one end of power switch going to relay and second somewhere to wires in the car whitch have power on when the car is running ( so when the car is off, no power in wires so compressor is not working )

^ that a good diagram.

basically the pressure switch tells the compressor when to kick on. depending on what switch you have, once the psi in the tank drops below a certain point the pressure switch will kick the compressor on and fill the tank with air to a certain point then turn it off.

Does the k sport run on two compressors or one? Regardless. Run the lines inside the car. Underneath carpet, etc. I just did my install yesterday on my 98SC400, tein cst on UAS bags, 5 gallon tank 2 4 way electronic valves. 7 way controller. If you have any questions, pm me. I love it, it rides better than any coilovers I have ever had. Handles extremely well, and is adjustable to be slammed, or ride like a caddy.
