Simple Ideas for turning off ETS style Traction Control...Input please

I got really bored and started reading through all of my Startek wiring diagrams and I came up with some basic ideas.

These ideas are for the older models with out the DYNO mode option

Idea #1
I was checking out the computer data lines and just figured if people want to turn it off so badly why dont they just wire their own on/off switch to it? Sure it will throw a light but when your done having fun(racing/drifting/dehubbing tires) you flip it back on and the light goes away after a few minutes correct or this some kind of nuclear catastrophe im missing?

Idea #2
I am not the most knowledable person when it comes to wiring but since all the wires are voltage regualted as it pertains to the ETS couldnt you make a simple type of regulator that would keep the output voltage the same so the ETS doesnt respond? Im guessing something just above 0 is smooth sailing and when the voltage gets to a certain point oh **** mode kicks in?


P.S. I got a Holset WH1E turbo for my turbo project so now can start putting **** together! Dad says I gotta fab it ALL off the car first then install it in a day so gimme a few months. One reason for the long fab time is im having my knee put back together since I demolished it at the skatepark fun fun.
