Thinking of wireing in a fuel cut off switch hidden somewhere in the car. Sure I've heard of people doing this before. Anyone know the best way to do this? Relay live? Pump live?

Blue and red on the fuel pump relay, what engine is/was your car?
Should be able to find it in the kick panel or behind the fuse box (Runs through a fuse), fit a switch somewhere hidden and your set.

Engine now is a c20xe. Was a 1.2 8v.
So blue and red into the relay. Cut it and just wire a switch straight in? Would it have to be a toggle switch to have it on or off. Or would it be a push button switch one push every time you get in the car?

One switch would require a latching relay. Tbh just do a toggle with a relay to handle the current or a current capable switch

best bet is a on/off switch, a momentry switch would require a relay, and as long as the switch is rated at 20amp or so, it'll be fine without a relay.

A mate of mine had a map with no fueling installed onto his dreamscience strategm, uploaded that map and the car wouldn't start after any residual fuel was used up.
