I have a 20a BAP that didnt come with an adjustible cockpit controller know. Can i install the BAP with out this? Also, i know a lot of people wire it to be running all the time instead of boost activated, any advantages to this or is it just an easier install? Any help would be appreciated....

i installed mine to be able to run all the time. It was explained to me by brenspeed that is will only run when available

Thanks for the input Troy, kenne bell said that the one i have(no adjustment) is wired to operate always at full blast. The boost sensor turns it on at 4 lbs of boost. If i wire it to operate all the time, is this bad for the fuel pump if the bap is at max all the time?

no, i don't think so. The way it was explained to me by dave at brenspeed is this....It works just like the amplifier on your car stereo. When the volume is down and the demand low, it doesn't output. When you crank the volume and the demand is there, it powers.
I jumped the two sensor wires together on mine. It did have a switch though, and he told me to put it to full open and leave it. He said, if i understood right, the computer would tell it when the fuel was needed. I may be a little off on the last explanation, but it was something to that effect. I can tell you this, what he had me do works perfect.

Thanks...Thats what i was hoping to hear. Makes the install easier ....[sm=icon_cheers.gif]

I have a 40amp BAP and have the adjustment controller mounted in the trunk. So that shows ya how much you need to be jacking with it. Set it and forget it. I also have mine wired for full time operation.
No, it is not going to hurt the pump because the pump is going to be controlled by the FPDM anyway. Actually the pump will probably work at less duty cycles under normal driving conditions because it is turning at higher RPMs.
