Default Which TPS wire on a C5 for WOT switch?

I know there is a similar C6 thread going but does anyone know which C5 throttle body wire to tap into for a nitrous WOT switch that reads voltage?

I do know that...

Dark Green/White = TPS 1 signal reference
Purple = TPS 1 ground
Dark Blue = TPS 1 signal

Yellow/Black = TPS 2 signal reference
White = TPS 2 ground
Pink = TPS 2 signal

...I'm assuming that I would use the TPS 1 set but not sure of the difference between "signal" and "signal reference". I know the WOT switch (Zex) looks at voltage.

I know this is really old thread but im running into this same issue. I wired a zex universal self contained kit into that blue wire and the when turned on and WOT the car goes into reduced power mode and freaks out. It spits a code and if I remember the code is something to do with low out put signal. (sorry i was working on it last fall and havent pulled it from storage.) does any of this ring a bell? or strike an obvious chord?
