How did you wire the switch? Is the clutch always engaged? if so, it will not work. You are not overboosting, the ECU needs to disengage the clutch during transmission shifts and it is not able to so the car will surge/jerk.

If you can engage it at a stand still, you must have it hot wired. If you are providing an alternate power source to the clutch and bypassing the ECU engagement signal, it will not run right. I believe the ECU uses a different fuel / spark map when the SC is engaged. If YOU are controlling engagement, the ECU doesn't even know that the SC is engaged and cannot compensate. I tried it for about 15 minues...didn't work too well

It MAY, MIGHT, THEORETICALLY, PLAUSIBLY, be possible to wire a relay and resistor inline with the ECU's SC circuit that is activated by your switch (you'll need a resistor that equals the impedance of the SC clutch). When you apply direct power to the clutch, the relay will also close the ECU's SC circuit. The ECU will see the usual resistance on the circuit and see that the SC is engaged and compensate accordingly... theoretically
