I am currently in the process of wiring. I am wondering how an octane switch would work on the pimp tuning platform. Does it switch from one tune to another when used? I have your write up on how to integrate it into the harness, so that I understand. But the function of it on the tuner studio I am confused on. Thank you!

It can do whatever you want it to do. Table switching, high/low boost, etc. Just depends how you wire it and how you configure the tune.

Can a single octane switch multiple parameters like adjust tables, boost, etc? Or only one per switch? If I wire it the way you have it written up, how will that function? Thank you

Some things can by done a the same time with a single switch, others can't. Table switching and boost can work together. This would likely be most productive if you say "I want to do "x", if possible, how do I do it?"

On the 91-93 mustang turbo swap wiring write up, it is written to cut the wire in the 24th port and ground it, however this wire goes to the power steering pump. Will that disable the power steering? My 23rd port is empty though. Also, the write up states that if you use the pimpx unit, you do not need to make any of the wiring changes mentioned in the write up. Is this correct? Just verifying. We started making those wire changes in the write up before we realized that it said if using the pimp, which we are, the changes are not necessary. lesson learned to read it all first! Anyway, will this cause any issues with the pimpx ecu now that we have made the wiring changes in that write up? Thank you

It depends on how you are doing the swap. If you want to keep the stock wiring and use a PiMPx then that means you're also retaining the DIS ignition setup and putting it all on the turbo engine. If you have no intentions of doing this and you're wanting to run the turbo engine with a distributor and such then you do the turbo swap wiring (except the VAM stuff since you'll not use a VAM). Unfortunately based on the questions and such, I think you're asking for trouble doing the wiring swap and installing the PiMPx at the same time. I think you'd be best off keeping DIS and installing PiMPx, or doing wiring mods, starting it on an LA3 to verify everything with the wiring swap is done correctly, and then installing the PiMPx.
Power steering is a mechanical device that runs off the belt, it can't be shut off with a wire snip (and if it could, why would we tell you to do it?). With an LA3 pin 24 is the octane switch. That's what you're grounding. Obviously with the PiMPx that's not necessary.

We already converted it to distributor ignition based off of the write up and got rid of the DIS. So, all of the wiring changes done according to the write up, this can work with the pimpx ecu? I understand the concerns however. And with the PIMPx a octane switch isnt necessary? Sorry for the confusion.

If done correctly, ANY factory 2.3 pinout works with the PiMPx. This includes the LA3 pinout the turbo swap directions convert your Mustang to.
No, the PiMPx doesn't use an octane switch (it "can" but it doesn't need one).
