Street and Performance will have retrofit wiring harnesses for TPI. They will have everything you will need and they can walk you through it.

They are on the net.

from what I've read, it looks like all I need is a wiring Harness and VATS module, along with the apropriate fuel tank, lines, and pump.

is this correct?

thanks

It's almost the same as putting a TPI system into an earlier non-TPI 3rd gen.

Painless also makes a retrofit harness. The rest of the details depend upon the details of the TPI you have.

The intent is to keep discussions 3rd gen related. If that is possible, the thread can live. Otherwise...
