I really have to get around to ordering one aswell. Good job BBBenny, let us know how it looks when you get it, quality etc.

Based on what I know already it's going to be tiny, invisible once installed but never forgotten every time I check my volts on the VBG1 :P

Spot on Benny - very tiny

Infact when you see it you will kick yourself for spending the money on what is essentially a fuse with a diode - but I couldn't be fkd making one and plus it looked near and I was pleasantly surprised and wanted to reward the novelty of the vendor in creating this

My thoughts exactly...



...although I really wanted a custom high output alternator with hand wound heavy gauge copper coils in a black hammer tone shell and polished pulley :mrgreen: Sighs :mrgreen:

Thanks for keeping us well informed BBBenny, doing us a great service, i gotta get off my arse and order one, am actually redoing all of the wiring coming off the battery positive ane negative, 2AWG every where except the main chassis earth which im overboarding with 0AWG, even upgrading the starter motor wiring even though it starts like a dream haha

no doubt this diode will help make use of this new found wire thickness :wink:

Are you also considering an STi fuel pump controller relay?

Great follow up Benny. Whacked mine in the other day, car was up to temp, multimeter showed voltage increase from 14.28 to 14.65.
