Boost a Pump Install

[DarkMesa8]

For those who have installed their boost a pump, did you use the vacuum hobbs switch, or hardwire it for WOT activation?

If you hardwired it, exactly how did you do it? I can't find any writeups on how to do that.

I thought the only options were to wire it full time or with the hobbs switch?

My understanding is, if you don't use the Hobbs switch, you just wire the red and black wire for the hobbs switch together either at its full length if you want to keep it...or like most that cut it off to about 3-4" and then wire them together.

That's how mine is going in shortly.

Jeez, that sounds like it would eat up the fuel pump.

Does anybody have experience with this?

I had the same question you had pretty much...basically just how should I install it...pre vs post FPDM....and all that fun stuff.

I found this thread and read through the whole thing and came to the decision to install it as I said above. Maybe some others will chime in as well.

I've been doing research for a while now, no solid answer.

I found a diagram saying that from the inertia switch is the pink/black wire, going to the FPDM, and from that to the fuel pumps with a grey/pink wire.

Is the pink/black wire from the inertia switch infact before the FPDM? Because that's where I wired in my BAP and I'm trying to determine if its now before or after the FPDM.

I wired the BAP direct. I would not use the vacuum switch.
