If you jumper the pins in the Klima relay, the compressor will NEVER turn off, even if the high/low pressure switch opens. You also lose the WOT cutout. Depending on the year model, a jumper will have to be installed to retain use of the kickdown switch (later models had a different design). The compressor will also engage immediately when the key is turned, there will be no delay on clutch engagement to allow the engine to start.
I've thought about making a module to bypass all that Klima crap, but finding a source of pins is problematic, the issue of having some whining person claim that the module "blew up their car", and of course the common issue of the cheapskates wanting something for free, it just isn't worth the time, effort, or money to develop it into an actual marketable product. The basic schematics are posted in the thread you reference and will "get you by" with reduced functionality if someone wants to take it on.

I am aware of what the jumper does, and it was only there to get the A/C charged. The A/C works as it should now that the EGR computer has been replaced. The only function I would like to see gone is the tach signal. Everything else needs to work as designed. If I had any electronic savvy, I would build one for myself. What about using the Klima enclosure and base (with pins) to build off of? I am sure junk Klima relays can be found. I probably have a couple lying around myself.
