An idea.
The temp switch on the front of the engine, next to the fuel filter. Yeah, the one that controls the cold start stuff...
Run a wire from that to a relay. This is to switch the relay.
Now run power from the battery, through the relay, to the GP controller.
Since the yellow wire is the one that brings power from the battery to the controller, you'll remove that, and get it out of the way in such a way that it won't ground against anything.
Then run your power wire from the relay, to where the yellow wire was.
Now, the only times the glow plugs will run, is if the engine is cold enough to need them.
Only real problem I can see here is if the temp switch needs to be a different temp. Anyone know whether the cold start stuff on the IP actually come on, when the engine is still warm?
