Right around 430 is all I want, that's what my evo8 had and I was very happy with it. If it makes more, then well...we'll just call it gravy

The BAP can also draw some crazy current to maintain the higher voltage and the stock wiring didn't look that confidence inspiring to me.

I hear ya, I thought about it quite a bit but half the reason I bought the BAP was so I could maintain the stock dual voltage setup. Now I have a tri-voltage setup! 8-14-17.5 Down the road I might look into a FPR setup and see about eliminating other restrictions in the fuel system and then rewire it as you described. It may not be needed now but there's still plenty more mods to do on this thing--ported IM/TB, bigger cams, bigger turbo....who knows what the future holds!

Right-o, I forgot about the return issue since I wasn't on the stock hanger at that time. I was just annoyed that it couldn't be tested at idle (it can't make the leap from 9->17volts) so I rewired it.
