I finally completed the install of my Boost-A-Pump system. For those of you that dont know, the theory of this system is to increase the voltage to the OEM fuel pump at certain Boost levels on up. This ensures more than adequate fuel reaches the monster and eliminates any possible lean conditions (unless you have system failure) In my case, it starts at 3psi boost. I had originally thought about this mod back when I installed the ESS system in January. At that time, I was talked out of it.
In doing some additional research, I came to the realization that Dinan does the install in their S3 system. Bottom line, for me, if Steve Dinan feels the system is warranted, than I want it.
I have attached photos for the finished product. I made the BS looking sheet metal 40 AMP Relay holder The most important thing that I can share with all of you is that if you purchase this setup and elect to do the mod, you need to follow Dinan's schematic, even though it seems against what Kenne-Bell has set up to work. The example I use is the cable that runs from the unit to the vacuum switch in the ECU box. KB supplies a red and black wringing harness to run to this point and is all that is required to activate this switch. Dinan, doesnt use it and runs + & - wires to it. Terrible waste of great wiring, but thats what they call for. Also, Dinan calls for you to cut of the Controller cable which allows adjustment of current / voltage to the fuel pump. Apparently, Dinan wants it "Pig Fat" in Kenne-Bells words. Anyway, it is a full day to do the install. If you follow Dinan's install to a tee, there are no wires that need to be run through the car. I didnt realize that until it was too late.

When hooked up tp a meter, I saw maximum of 17.6 volts at 6,500 going to the pump.
