Default Nitrous Wiring

I am trying to wire my nitrous WOT & window switch. Where are the wires that I need to hook these up? Hopefully near the passenger foot well?

What color are they? Does anyone have pictures?

I went through the firewall under the battery where the engine harness comes through, and then to the harness on top of the engine to tap into the coil pack wire for RPM and the same harness for the TPS wire.

You can grab power from the passenger foot well but I got everything else from the engine compartment and went through firewall.

This my install when I did it a couple years ago. Some things have changed.

What harness on top of the engine?
How to you tap into the coil pack wire?
what harness has the TPS wire?

I've been searching for threads that have details on which wires to use and can't find anything. I would prefer something with pictures. Does anyone have any help please?

The harness on top of the engine that has the wiring for the coils, injectors, Throttle body.

I just pulled the insulation back and soldered my wire into it. Same with the TPS sensor from the throttle body. Good luck finding pics. Most don't stop and takes pics of that kind of stuff. All the information is in the forum and LS1tech.com. Just have to search for it.

Okay, what wire did you solder into for the ignition signal? Can you just pick any wire going to the coils and tie into it?

From what I have read the blue wire is the one you want for the TPS? Is that the blue wire that connects to the passenger side of the throttle body?
