Hi Tim, yes I added the governor to my ship and used the lead from the computer to the rotor tach, wire# 14 to provide the engine rpm input to the tach. I do have the fuel tach computer as well.
Here is a photo of my own 25 year old 162f that I have upgraded with modern drive train, Joe Huff engine, FuelTech Fadec computer and governor.

This is how the governor arrives. This one I will be installing in a clients turbo ship with the VPS engine.
