From what I hear, the TPS is located on the throttle body and is a red/black wire. Can anyone verify this? I'm tapping into it.

Those should be the wires, I cant confirm this for the ep though. Me and a friend put a Zex kit on his VW and there were 3 wires coming off the TPS, we just measured with a voltmeter the current in the wire when the pedal was pushed all the way to the floor to figure out which one we had to tapp into.

Nice! Why does this have to be done in order to hook up N2O? Sorry, im not educated in this field...

N20 should only be used under Wide Open Throttle. Once the system is armed it will start spraying once the N20 Managment unit sees that the pedal is fully depressed (@ WOT)it does this by tapping into the TPS wire.

And more importantly.. stop spraying when at part throttle.
