Default Nitrous help

Hey guys,

I've already searched a bunch on here, but seem to get conflicting answers. I'm looking for which wire from my throttle body (LS2 if that matters) is the TPS wire needed for my progressive controller (NX Maximizer 4)? I've heard blue, purple, green....just want to make sure I've got the right one. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Instead of tapping that wire, why not just wire in a WOT switch? I personally put a WOT switch under the pedal versus tapping my TPS. It has worked great for 8 years now.

I tapped into the blue wire at the TB. 0-5v. Worked great.
