Default Zex Dry Kit Installation

Hey everyone, I'm new here and I registered to get some help with my "Project"
I got a 1997 Honda Accord and recently i got a ZEX dry kit from ebay! All of the parts are seem to be here and in good condition. I will be installing the kit myself. SO I've got a couple of questions and hope to get some usefull info. First question, for those who are familiar with zex dry systems, there is a white wire that goes from the purple control unit to the TPS (throttle position sensor). How do I connect it to the TPS? DO I splice one of the wires? If yes? WHich color? I got red, green and yellow. I know there is a way to check it however i dont have the volt meter so i'll be just splitting wires. Second question, what is the fuel pressure regulator looks like? Is it this round maybe 1" in diameter thing next to the fuel rail on the left? PLease, any imput would be appreciated. THanks.
P.S. will the nitrous inject into throttle body if my arming switch in on but the pedal is not depressed? or does WOT will only work when the arming switch is on? I'm confused

the nitrous kit will only work when the switch is on and your going full throttle. the white wire is spliced in with a t-tap. i've never done the install on your car so i cant tell you which color the wire is.

so t-tap wouldnt work? It has to register at 4.6 volts to be considered Wide Open Throttle. Do you think that with t-tap I would loose that volts difference? It wont work?

Porsche will void warranty on any t-tab connect while they accept solder.

why? because if you solder it right, the connecting point is even stronger than the wire itself

t tab came loose overtime, connection is inferior than soldier

soldering provides a good solid junction and also allows the electricity to pass through with as little resistance as possible. If there is a voltage drop across the junction, your 4.6 volts might register incorrectly.
