Default Fuel Pump issues

I have recently just done a turbo conversion on my mk4 cab. where the loom runs along the drivers door i seem to have one spare wire which i dont know where it connects onto, got a feeling its brown and red. can someone supply me with a wiring diagram.
I am also having problems with my fuel pump i can hear it prime but does not sound normal the car will fire up but then immediately die. Looking at the pink relay one of the conectors has burnt out. Do i have to replace it with an RS Turbo relay or will any one do?

The std relay should be fine, assuming the pink was for the fuel pump this would also be fine.
To be honest I would just get a cut out switch off another car and run the pump direct through the cut out switch, saves loads of hassle.

Melting points to either a short, on that pin/circuit or an overload, knowing ford and bodgey electrics it will be overloaded if this is a common problem, they can just be wired permanently live(when running) through ignition and a cut out switch saves all the hassle.
