Here's how to identify the 4 relays using location and wire color:

Location: Over distributor: Yellow wire = IC pump, Orange wire = boost control.
Location: Outboard of booster: Gray wire = Fuel pump, (3) Green wires = A/C clutch.

That's great, unless the two relays have been transposed on their bracket. Ie, A/C and fuel pump are reversed in location from the diagram. It would be very difficult for the wire colors to be incorrect though.

well no shit but I figured a picture would help to go along with your "out board of booster" etc instructions

OK, thanks for response, got good information, because relays I asked was in fact boost control and ic pump relays. :oops:
I have a2a and a/c delete so I'll take ic pump and a/c relays off.

I'll bring this thread back to life instead of opening a new one.

With regards to relays 14 and 15 in the above diagram. I have an air to air intercooler and a Precision external wastegate on an aftermarket turbo. So theoretically those relays are no longer used. Could I just eliminate them without causing any issues?

I plan on doing a dedicated starter relay to eliminate the purple wire hot start issue as shown by DaveP in one of his threads. I would like to mount that new relay in place of the other two.

Are there any wires connected to those relays? I'd see where they lead to before you try to remove them. If they aren't used, yes you could put something in their place. The starter wire issue is the purple wire.

Yes, they still have the oem plugs connected to them. I guess that I could just disconnect them and go for a test drive.

I plan on wiring up a relay to that purple wire to help the voltage drop issue.
