Default Vtec pressure switch?

What's the best way to run the wire. I have a jdm type r and I'm using a chipped ecu. I have read a few different ways to go about the problem of trying to get the pressure switch sensor. Does anyone have a clear way of explaining this process.

Most of us just swap out the VTEC solenoid with a USDM VTEC solenoid.
