If the Add2psu is a gimick what's the best option to trip it on?

A paperclip, metal staple, short length of wire etc....
You only need to connect the green wire to one of the black ones on the 24 pin plug.

Or, if you really want to b "neat," you could just use a 2-1 splitter for the ATX connector, which is ~$10. But a paper clip or short length of solid wire is really your cheapest alternative.
