Default WTF DOES THIS BUTTON DO?

Just wondering if anyone can tell me if they might know what this button does pictured below....?

The car is a newage 2000 jap spec sti and I was wondering if is some type of japanese gizmo or perhaps something to do with in car entertainment of car security? Has anyone seen one before? The button doesnt seem to do much actually but would be nice to know what its function is.

Its not a standard item. It's a generic switch you can buy for anything, best bet is to trace the wires back.

Its an odd place to put a switch, maybe its meant to be hidden from view. My guess is a fuel pump cut off switch to slow the tea leaves down.

Possible settings:

Intercooler spray
High/Low boost setting
Fuel Cut off switch

The first two could be confirmed by seeing a pic of the engine bay.

Doubt its the rear foglight, the wiring is up in the dash for that so its anyones guess what it is, possably security related? or for some ICE install gadget?

lol Its a flux capacitor delivering 1.21 gigawatts- "great scott"

Seriously though, your best bet is to trace the wires from the switch back.
