Default question for anyone with a zex nitrous kit

i finished wiring up my solenoids the other day, i used the brown wire from the throttle body that read 4.9v at wot. but when i have the system armed the solenoid opens up at 45% throttle (i hooked it up to a scantool) and the pedal is only about halfway depressed. ive made the purple box relearn my tps signal multiple times and it still opens up at about half throttle. my question is to anyone with a zex kit does this happen to you or does yours open at wot?

i figure either way ill run the car like this because ill only have the system armed when im about to spay anyways, but i just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing this.. thanks

it reads 0v at no throttle and 4.9v at wot, ive always heard people say to use the brown wire and the directions say to use the output lead from the tps, meaning the wire with the highest voltage at wot... at least thats the way i understand it. anyways the brown wire had the highest voltage at wot.

well first off that is the motor wire, not the throttle postion sensor. the throttle postion sensor is the light green wire. i have this same kit on my tc and the white wire goes to the light green wire
