Mind if I ask what you are doing? Why does it NEED to be off the pedal? Most of the nitrous guys use the blue lead off the throttle body.

When people talk about the TPS they are generally referring to absolute TPS, which is calculated at the TAC on the throttle body. This is different from pedal position, as ETC pedal position and MAP are both used in determining Desired Throttle Area, (logged as ETC Desired Position, read by 3 APP sensors on pedal assembly) which is also not the same as Absolute TPS.

Oh alright. What exactly do the instructions from RPM say?

I would contact the manufacturer/vender and ask for some more detailed install instructions. There are 3 sensors in the APP and they each operate on 5V reference. I have no idea which one they are looking for.
