Yeah, that's how I envisioned it working on a 16V.  However, you left the
red/yellow wire from the knock sensor brain unconnected right???  I think
that this wire still needs to be hooked up to something..........try
splicing it into the same ground that you put the wire from terminal 87 of
the F/P relay into.

Because my setup was a stock MkI to start with, the circuit for the fuel
pump was complete.  I took that wire from the knock brain and spliced it in
to the stock F/P ground wire because it made sense to hook it up
there...........Kinda a reverse polish way of looking at it......I figured
that even if there was no fuel pump relay, that that red/yellow wire needed
a home. :-)

Keith Davenport is currently running my old setup the same way i had it (but
I don't know if he hooked that wire to anything) and he also has no rev
limiter.
