Default need help wiring up VTEC on a Y8

I put a D16Y8 into my CRX but i'm having trouble wiring up the VTEC. I stuck to the stock Si ECU, the P06, so i'm using a VTEC activator. More specifically, i'm using the MSD RPM activator switch (PN 8950). I do not know how to wire this stinkin' thing up! It's getting very frustrating!

These RPM Activated Switches will perform a variety of different functions from turning on a bulb or solenoid to activating an MSD Timing Computer at a desired rpm.
The RPM Activated Switch, PN 8950, has two activation wires; one to ground a circuit and the other to open a circuit. Simply plug in an rpm module and wire the Switch to the circuit you want to activate. When the engine rpm reaches that amount, the circuit is activated and will remain on until the rpm falls below that amount.

Use one of the MSD RPM pills in the 4K range, like a 4.2K pill.
