Glad to hear Mikey was there to get you back on the road Earl!!! I was just talking to him about it.... good thing he choose OC for his vacation!!!

According to Mike, the BAP relay must have shorted internally... So he removed the BAP completly, by re attaching the stock Fuel Pump wiring - effectively taking the BAP out of the picture.

This allows the pump to function as it did stock. HOWEVER... this was only a means to get DealRipper back on the road... it is not a long term fix, and if you ever need to do this in a pinch, you should not under any means put the car into boost... without the BAP, the car will likely run lean under a boosted situation.

Btw, you would be reattaching the grey wire that is spiced during the BAP install...

Make sure to tighten your brakes.
