Group Buy: HKB MK3 Alternator sense wire diode

I was re-reading the Upgrading Your Fuel Pump Wiring (4th Gen) thread on LGT and I came across an Australian made, plug n play alternator sense diode upgrade.
I contacted the manufacturer and indeed we qualify for a 15% discount on this cool product.
Basically the fused diode installs in the engine bay fuse box, no need to mess about with wires, solder or heat shrink...

Website: http://www.hkbelect.com/product/147-mk3 ... -75a-2005/
They are $50 retail, -15%, Express post adds $10 but is optional.

Please express your interest and I shall PM you with our discount code, for your use, until the mfg closes the group buy.

Can you DIY this? Yes absolutely, and if DIY is your thing chance are you've DIY'd this already ;)

What they said on LGT:
[QUOTE=Scooby2.5;4618673]
By the way it is expensive but if you factor in all they did to get it made and where it has to ship from its not too bad.

Plus its a resetable un-blowable fuse. It will last forever.[/QUOTE]

Did you try to click the links? Clicking works for me. Or command + clicking... or right click - open in new window or tab.

EDIT sorry its the important second link! Fixing it now...

EDIT I think I crashed the HKB website posting the GB :P

I'll email the vendor about it.

I didnt see this link before, benny.

Having run this for over 7 months I can say its a great product

Bumped up my voltage to pump and aystem (which was my primary intention)

No other issues so far

Light years ahead of me as per usual ;)

My volts run at 13.6-13.9 when the car is running so I'd hope to see over 14V with this.

Wheres the full writeup on your fuel system solution?
or...
Got the relay, 12 gauge wiring and GD STi or WRX pump controller?
