Can you use the oem main relay for a kill switch?
Hey i was looking at the schmatics for my hatch and it seems that i can tap into a wire that keeps power going to the fuel pump and not use a extra relay? Is this possible and what are the pros and cons of this?

yeah its effective. couldnt tell you how i know, or else id have to kill ya 
the benefit is that you can tap into the line closer to the dash.

Yes,
Pros, don't tell anyone about it
Cons, do it while you disconnect the battery and soldier everything.
