Default Anyone used a MSD fuel pump loom?

This is the second one ive had off them for the same car and the instructions dont relate to the relay.
First one i had off them there was a pink wire coming out at the fuel pump end.
The second one has a blue wire coming out.
The instructions refer to a black open ended wire that does not exist and do not refer to the pink or blue wiring.
anyone shed any light on this?

hi Ken, best give them a ring, but without seeing it is the spare wire at the fuel pump end not the trigger wire that goes onto the original feed to the pump?
when I built mine I put the relay at the front and used the original fuel pump feed in the ecu harness as a trigger for the new relay

I assume the blue wire is the trigger as on the instructions it is a black wire that isnt there.. so this could be just a mistake on instructions

Thin wire is naturally the trigger, thick are the power wires. You can trigger it from the original fuel pump + or ecu's fuel pump relay trigger if you find it under the dashboard.

Related to this, anyone managed to fit their adapter to 044 Bosch without it leaking?

My MSD adapter fitted perfectly, the one I had before from another company leaked

Guess I was just unlucky then. Included washer didn't hold at all and even replacing it with a copper item didn't help. Hopefully figure out something to sort it before spring.

Try with a dowty washer. Even though they're designed for extremely high pressure, it may work
