YUP! Been running this way for 15+ years and various Megasquirt and Microquirt board versions. Cleanest way to go in my opinion. Microsquirt activates the FP relay in the same manner d-jet does (grounds the circuit to activate) so that wire is just a direct connection. ECU and Injector power can be pulled from the relayed 12V pin on that same 4 pin connector however you will want to add inline fuses for those.
There is one non critical but slightly annoying issue I have encountered on a couple cars wired this way where for some reason the main relay stays activated when turning the key off until some other load is placed on the electrical system (stepping on the brake, etc) I havent dug to far into it yet as it isnt critical to operation but looks possibly like voltage back-feed though the alternator light as pulling the bulb deactivates the relay. Read a similar issue that BMW guys were encountering where installing a diode on the alternator light circuit fixed the issue. May give that a shot. Just something to be aware of.

This may be a stupid question, BUT...
Has anybody run a Microsquirt directly utilizing the 914 board? Using the stock relays for power and fuel pump control? Or, is this the norm?
The Megasquirt has its own separate relay board... But I'm now trying to do away with that.
Thanks,
