I think I will go with Columbia style.

            1) No Boost during run up.

            2) Arm High Boost (Pressure below 5.5 PSI will engage and activate appropriate annunciator for BOTH Low Fuel Pressure and HIGH Boost))

            3) Monitor fuel flow on climb out.

            4) Disable Armed High Boost on cruise (or decent from climb)

            5) Low Boost for fuel selection change.

            6) Low Boost over 10K MSL or when TIT > 1450.
