MSD BAP install question.

I did a search with no luck. I need to know if any of you have pics of your setups. I would really like to have the BAP in the rear wheel well where the disc changer goes but Im not sure about the vaccume/boost line, I dont think it would be a good idea to run the line all the way to the back.
does anyone have installation instructions?
Is it safe to run it on at all times?

Mine is on all the time (well, under boost), but I can't answer the rest.

Cut the hot wire there, wired it to the BAP then continued to the engine bay through the hole in the firewall that is under the PCM. I also ran the boost wire though this hole. With the boost line hooked up the BAP will only turn on when it sees at least a couple #'s of boost.

The BAP has a very long electric line that goes to the boost activation switch. Plumb the switch into a port that has boost then run the wires to that, no need to run a vacuum line to BAP.

Ok so let me see if Im understanding this right. To keep the BAP mounted in the rear so it wiil not be seen, I wiil have to run a boost activation switch up front then run the two wires that are approx 10-17 feet long (red and black wire) to that?
Will this work the same as running a boost line directly to the BAP?
Is there an instuction manual online for these things? I looked on msd website and they dont have it.

I can take a picture of mine, it's a KB though. I personally would not run a vac/boost hose all the way to the back, just use the electric line.
