Default KB BAP constant "on" mode?

A friend of mine asked about doing this and I guess someone else has done it without any problems. Bypassing the hobb switch for the KB 2.8, 2.6 or 2.2L? Should you be able to do that? I'd think it would mess with the fuel maps while at "cruising" speeds and when at nominal boost.

Also can you relocat the KB air intake on the 3v back into the engine compartment? Understand that there is a gaggle of stuff in the way that would have to be either relocated or just use some old fashioned ENGINuity. lol

yes

and

why would you want to pull hot air in the engine compartment. The KB intake rocks in the front bumper location

The only reason to even try it would be to get more of the classic KB "whine". Other than that a completely worthless endevour, because you're 100% right the bumper location rocks! And you could go with a smaller pulley but then that requires a complete retune and really isn't worth it

The tune KB supplies is okay with their 8-10 PSI pullies.
My KB whines pretty good at 11 PSI when I am at WOT.
