Yes, I do actually.
It's been a few years, I can dig up the part number again if needed.
It's got the naturally aspirated vacuum switch but I never used it, still new in the bag. I just operated the BAP directly with my Holley ECM. I can give you wiring diagram and software how to do that if you want. The BAP itself was inside the interior of my car for maybe 2 or 3 months until I removed it and went a different direction. Thing is like new.
Here is the picture I had in the ad originally. My memory is a little fuzzy but I think I added the connectors for the wire pigtails? I'll have to check, but there is a 95% chance I have extra parts needed for you to mate to those connectors (connector housings, terminals, cable seals).

Found the part number, KB89068
When BAP is on, output voltage is regulated to 17.5V. There is an optional pill (that you can buy yourself) that when installed will cause the BAP to regulate to 21V.
When BAP is off, it passes through whatever is the input voltage from your car.
All the vacuum switch does is close a circuit that informs the BAP to turn on. It's nothing fancy, I didn't even use it. And frankly the switch is monstrous in size for what it does.
I instead closed the circuit with a relay that was controlled by my Holley ECM, providing much more intelligent control and flexibility with the Holley software. I verified this with a Kenne Bell engineer beforehand to make sure it did no harm.

I've been considering buying this - Would it be just as easy to set it up in the Holley software for a turbo application? I'd like to use it on my second pump ( which already only turns on under boost ).
Difference between n/a and turbo is that n/a MAP values peak around 100 kpa (atmospheric) and turbo MAP values peak at something higher according to whatever your engine combo can achieve. You just account for that difference in your Holley software settings.
Set up your ECM with a custom output to control a relay. The relay will turn the Boost-A-Pump on/off as you want. The Boost-A-Pump has 2 small wires that when connected together will complete a circuit that causes the BAP to turn on, and your relay will complete that circuit. The smaller electrical connector in my photo is those 2 wires (I put the connector there to make it easy to plug into my own harness).
You can set up rules in your software for MAP, RPM, TPS, battery voltage... your imagination is the limit.
