How to install TCD from piggie?

1. Remove the s4biturbo engine cover above the throttle body area
2. Cut back some of the black sheathing on the MAP sensor wiring that goes to the sensor on the throttle body boot
3. Cut out a small section of wire insulation, say, around ¼”, on the brown wire and on the blue/grey wire. DO NOT break the wiring here. The wire is of a fine gauge, so, be careful in order to not damage the strands.
4. Splice the TCD in parallel with these wires, blue of the TCD goes to blue-grey and brown of the TCD goes to brown of the MAP sensor wiring. **If black, it goes to brown

Good luck, don't strip any wire on the MAP sensor.

It was a cut and paste job man. Go to vastperformance.com

You might find pics there. It's the wires coming off the sensor on the top of the TBB. I'm a soldering noob, and I was succesful. Just have a small, sharp x-acto blade.
