+In addition to the main diagram above, a small toggle switch was added in the +12v IGN Live line (and mounted under the dashboard) to the low pressure pump relay, in order that the constant pump running could be switched off whilst electric/diagnostic work was being undertaken that didn't need the pump constantly running (which would be needed in normal operation).
+==== Outcome ====
+So, does it work? __Yes__, the car now starts and runs again. The car drives much more smoothly (but is still not perfect) and will now build boost when accelerating from 2nd to 3rd gear - showing approximately 0.7Bar on the boost gauge; something we had never been able to achieve previously.
+The next steps are to revisit the fuelling setup - attach the wideband O2 sensor from AEM again - and recheck the base CO% / fuel trim% of the ECU, and adjust the idle screw. We don't have a working ISCV control (since the aftermarket parts are junk and don't work), so setting the idle is a compromise to get a stable idle whilst cold, vs not too high when warm.
