Default Apexi avc-r boost controller help...

Hey guys, I've got a 00' Trans am and I've had this Apexi AVC-R for awhile and figured I'd finally get around to hooking it all up. Do you know what wires I need to splice into to make the damn thing work right. The instructions are for a japanese car and don't help in the least. I've included a drawing of what I need and if anyone knows what color the wires are and where I need to splice into, it would be a huge help... thanks.

That doc file shows you everything you need to know. I don't know how you can make it more simple

Black and green to ground
Red wire to +12V that's on when the key is ON
Purple to the white tach output from the PCM
Grey to the TPS sensor
White to the speedometer output from the PCM

I've got the grounds hooked up and the red wire also. My main question was what colors is the speedometer output from the pcm? What color is the TPS sensor wire, and where can I find it, and is the tach output on a 00' trans am white, before I start splicing wires. It's going into a 00 WS6 trans am.

Will the boost controller work without hooking up speedometer, tach, and TPS? I just need it to hold boost a certain psi, and hopefully be able to up the boost from the drivers seat. I don't care about all the other fast and the furious features!!!

i don't have the wiring diagrams handy but your dealer can print you out the pinouts to the PCM connections for your car. It's relatively simple but requires splicing/soldering.
