Hi,

This is were I've got some experience: 15 to 87 - no. There's not enough
power in 15 to turn your fuel pumps properly. The 87-30 is the only way to
go, disconect other wires. Trust the guy who has been driving like that for
1/2 year. I have a switch installed and I'm so used to it, that in every
car I step into I automatically start looking for it. no use paying 30 USD,
but thats from the parts-shark here in Estonia.

Best regards,
Arno
