Boost a pump question
I just purchased a supercharged c6 with quite a bit of stuff done to it. On my way back home from purchasing the car, it died on me...
Had it towed to a dealer and they said that the fuse to the fuel pump was blown because of the Magnavolt BAP.
The dealer routed a fuse for the pump around the BAP in order to get me back on the road as a temporary fix.
Not knowing a whole lot about BAP's... before I rip it out and buy a new one, is there a way of knowing if this BAP needs to be replaced or could it be something else in that area?

I have and like that harness, on the other hand, make sure your BAP had/has the correct fuse amperage. My BAP came with a 25 and should have had a 30; I put the 30 in and it worked for another two years.

Thanks for the info. Anyone know of a place with the best price for one of those Racetronix harnesses?
It's been extremely difficult, but I have yet to go over 3500 rpm's since I got the car and yeah, it bogs down quite a bit if i try to give it some throttle in a higher gear (still in low rpm's of course)

Also keep in mind that the magnavolt is probably under the hood currently and most of the other BAPs go in the back driver side fender by the fuel pump wire harness.

Anyone know for sure if I can use the harness for the magnavolt? It would be a lot easier to replace the existing bap in the same location. I have not been able to find a replacement magnavolt though...?

I understand that some mount in the fender and some under the hoop, in fact I have had it in both spots. Does this matter? The reason I ask is I am thinking of adding a BAP again. I just can't watch my fuel pressure drop under boost (even though it's tuned for it). My plan is to mount it in the rear fender using my racetronixs harness.
