Don't know about BPP, but I have the NX TPS switch and it is so far so good. It is best to use the Autotap and tune it to make sure it only goes off above 97% WOT.

In addition to that, you can also install another mechanical WOT before the electronic TPS switch. Use this mechanical switch to activate the elctronic TPS switch.

Tuan,

Thanks for the tip. Do you have any pics of your install?

I just installed one and the install is VERY easy. One wire goes to power, one to ground, one to the blue wire on teh TPS, and one to your solenoid. Its that easy.

Closer_2001,

I installed mine right under the passenger foot well. Connect it to a wire and run this wire through the firewall to the TB. You DO NOT want to install it under the hood and expose it to extreme heat. It would be the last thing you want to fail.

I use the NX TPS switch to power on/off the MSD window switch and then use the window switch to power on/off the solenoids (+14V wire on solenoids). For ground wiring, it goes through the fuel pressure safety switch (FPSS). So if anything goes wrong with the fuel pressure, it will disconnect the ground, which in turn break the circuit.

I emailed you a few pics I have. Let me know if you need more :D

:cheers:

If you do this, don't forget to keep an eye out for proper A/C condensation draining. You really don't want it to end up in the footwell now. ;)

Ohhh so true.. happened to me... blew out my BCM... had to have the dealer rape my car for over a week on that one.. uggg...

The TPS switch from ANYBODY is the same lil thing. You could make one from radio shack parts for about $5. However, they all work fine. I put mine in the footwell, high and to the right... works like a champ :D :cheers:

I wish mine was that easy! I've had 3 of them that haven't worked yet!
Tried everything, including a relay. I wish I could get it to work. I have two full bottles of NOS and no way to get it to the engine! :sad:
