Default BP Adjustable TPS Switch ?

To those of you that use the BP Adjustable TPS Switch for your NOS applications!
I'm having a problem installing this. (Some of you may have seen me at the Sacramento Drags working on it on Saturday)
Where does the BLUE wire go?
To the Solenoids? (Tried it but it didn't work, NO light at WOT)
To the Power Switch? (Still no light)
I'm lost the directions say "Power Out"
I have the red wire running to power.
The Black wire to Chassis Ground.
The White wire to the Blue Throttle Position Sensor at the Throttle body.
Can some one clear this up for me!
Thanks for your help!
Tim

I didn't use the relay, per a friends advice!
I guess I should!
I'm going to go and try and install it now!
Thanks for checking for me!

hmmmm yeah I think it is supposed to use that relay. It goes from my tps switch to the relay and then to the toggle switch. I use the tps switch with a msd window switch.

TPS wire dark blue goes to BPP switch. With ignition on and motor off you should read 0 to around 5 Volts as pedal goes to WOT.
You only want your BPP switch powered on when you have activated your on/off N20 switch. Wire BPP switch on the on side of your toggle switch.
Power out wire on BPP switch goes to your N20 relay.
Without a relay to knock off your N20 system, BPP switch is worthless. BPP switch is not rated for electrical load soenoids would draw.
How are your solenoids activated? Hand activated push button switch?

Hi Jetskifast,
It looks as though the TPS is bad! (Second one!)
I have the solenoids connected to a on/off switch! Then to the Relay.
If I turn it on the NOS flows freely. The TPS does nothing!
I've tried everything! I can bi-pass the TPS and everything works.
I'll try another one to see if I can get it work!
Thanks for you help!
Tim
