Problem: fuel pump relay (for 78 924) p/n # 477 906 059 is no longer available.

Any suggestions? Porsche has the 79 and up ones in country.

I need a relay, what are the options?

Thanks in advance!

Ask where you order the parts if they are compatible. They should know.
You can have the old relay rebuilt by an oldschool electronics shop. I have two turbo relays rebuilt. You can also do a hack and use a normal relay but in case of an accident the pump will still run even if the engine dies...thats a hazard. Also if you do this hack as long as the key is turned the pump will run forever regardless if the engine is working or not. I have this on both my cars since original turbo relays are also impossible to find.

Those ones are hard to find, keep an eye on eBay, .com, .uk and .de
When one comes up grab it!

Yeah I use the same relay. Keep on eye on ebay as the poster suggested. Junkyards, craigslist ads or on this board, people parting out 77-78's.
