Default Boost a Pump Install Help Please!

My kenne bell boost a pump is arriving tomorow, and I need to install it quickly.

I need to know what connections to make, and where they go.

-I understand there is a vacuum line, but what other connections are
made?
-Is power provided from a relay in the fuse box, or directly from the
battery?
-Do I tap into the gray line with the lime green tape around the
bundle to boost the pump voltage?

Please go into detail, as I have to install the kit fairly quick.

-thanks!

Depending on which unit you have there will either be a vaccume or boost switch with regular hot and ground wires going to the switch. Im using mine with nitrous so I didnt use the vaccume and just tied them into a toggle switch on my nitrous switch panel.

It makes it so much easier if you have the racetronix hotwire harness. Its so simple with the harness, I would definantly recommend getting one.

The wire with the RCA connector on it will go to the turn dial you can mount anywhere. Again, I didnt want to mess with that as I wanted a full 17 volts when I would arm it so I cut the RCA jack off and soldered those 2 wires together.

Where do you get power for the vacuum switch and for the unit itself?
Also do you tap into the fusebox for anything, and which fuel pump wire do you tap into to boost the voltage of?

Everything you just asked comes right off the Racetronix harness. If your not going to use the harness, The directions that come with the BAP are somewhat helpfull

Is the positive wire going to the pump the grey wire with green tape by the fuse box? (in the engine bay)
