( problem solved ) Cutouts Modified (picture)
As stated below I tried some electric cutouts and found them to be at best troublesome. I decided to look further into the units. I found a terminal in the supplied harness so damaged it would only let about 6 volts to the motors. I repaired the problem and they work great !!!! 
I've scraped the below design.
I've scraped the below design. I tried some electric units, found them to be junk. My V8 914 had a set of Ferrari mufflers which used a vacuum actuator. That system worked perfect and was fast reacting. Below is a picture of an electric unit fitted with a Vacuum actuator. First design is a bit ugly but works great.

dude they sell kits specifically designed for this application. i ordered mine through summit racing and i have not run into a single issue in the 8+ months of having them. they come with all the appropriate wiring and the switch (with a fused link) which you can mount to make it look proper

I found the problem with the electric cutouts I was using. I grabbed a cigarette adapter ( from a box of spares) which cuts the 12 volts to 5 volts. That is why the throttle plates wouldn't move properly. I have everything working great. I did toss the kit switch and am using my own.

I could record something but it never (with my camera ) sounds right. In person is the best. I will say at idle its hard to tell the difference, but when boosting on the freeway against a wall aside ya it sounds like theres a jet exhaust down there. I find myself in manual mode much more because of the feedback from the exhaust.
