I plan to plumb a boost gauge from the hole.

Question is, does anyone here remove the relay? Is it just safer to leave those wires landed in a safe place?

Will that relay make a spare for the glow plug relay?

I should have done more search but I'm gettin old and I aint as ept as I once was..

It makes a great spare glow plug relay. I swapped my wife's a couple of years ago when her GPR went out and she's been using it ever since. That's a good enough reason to leave it in place.

I removed the heater and the wire going from the relay to the heater.
Now if the GPR goes out all I need to do is swap them

I don't have GPR's - thanks CA emissions.

My relays went the way of the Dodo bird. I put a couple layers of shrink tubing over the ends of the 'hot' wires and removed the ground wire.
