Tach signal / nitrous line I'm going to be installing my Nitrous Dave's dry kit next week. I just have a couple of questions.
1) What is the easiest place for me to access the wire for tach signal. I need to hook it up to my window switch
2) Also, what is the best way to run my nitrous line into the engine bay from the bottle (mounted on the trans tunnel)

if you pull out the PCM, you'll see theres a grommet on the firewall down there.
you can run your nitrous line, and the wire for your window switch thru that area (use different holes though)
i always tap into the tach signal wire either near the PCM if running it into the car, or at the connector on the wheelwell (i forget if its C100, C101, ect)

Therefore, I'll just tap both the tach and TPS off at the PCM.
Got a pin #, pic, or color at the PCM for the TPS wire?
My car is at the shop, therefore I can't verify...

Here's my nitrous install page that answers both questions: http://www.rdmelton.autoeducation.co...6/nitrous.html
The short answers:
1: For my 2000 WS6, the TPS signal is pin #24 (dark blue) on the red connector and the tach signal is pin #10 (white) on the red connector. Wiring connectors for other applications may vary so be sure to check the factory diagram before splicing wires.
2: I routed the nitrous line from the bottle, through the center console, through the floorboard near the shifter, beside the transmission, and then up to the solenoids. I used several zipties to ensure that it stays as far as possible from moving objects and/or items that will be hot.

I tapped into the #10 pin on the red connector on the PCM. I ran my nitrous line behind the pcm through the grommet and under the carpet along the passenger seat all the way to the trunk.
