Boost a pump can be used in conjunction with any type of fuel system setup. Return less or return, boost referenced or not. It will simply just increase voltage to pump to increase flow. At the 600hp goal your looking for stock lines and regulator will be fine with enough injector.

^ I agree. Id suggest getting the racetronix fuel pump harness as it has an area to easily wire in the BAP. The BAP is triggered by a hobbs pressure switch hooked up to your vacuum line.

I believe mine is activated once boost reaches 2 or 5 psi. At that point the BAP supplies additional voltage to the pump.

for 600 RWHP id suggest a minimum of:
Racetronix hotwire kit
BAP
60lb or larger injectors.

Let me rephrase .. Is a boost reference regulator recommended for a turbo car? Or will the BAP and racetronix harness be good?

Not really until you start to run higher boost pressures. As long as you have good sized injectors the differential pressure at the injector tip won't affect it to much. With that said imo you will be fine 600whp and bo boost referenced regulator with room to grow.

Shoot me an email/pm for more info if you'd like.
