There is a Green wire w/ a blue stripe that carries the rpm signal from the ECU. That is the wire you want to tap. Works well for me..

You can catch the wire on the back of the ECU. The ECU has 2 different groups of wires. You want to look at the group to your right when facing your car. You will find the wire there. I am not to sure about the setup you have, but if you follow the instruction your tach came with you should be able to do this. The hardest part is finding the RPM signal wire, the rest should be just power and ground. GOOD LUCK
