Fender Modern Player Telecaster Plus pickup swap question/help

I recently got a Fender Modern Player Telecaster Plus and I'm swapping the pickups for a Pearly Gates humbucker and the Lari Basilio middle and neck Tele pickups. For those not familiar with the Modern Player Telecaster Plus, it has a humbucker in the bridge, Strat pickup in the middle and a regular Tele neck pickup. It also has a mini total for the coil tap rather than a push pull pot Looking at the wiring diagram the neck and middle pickup is straight foward. Hot to the switch and the ground to the back of the volume pot. But the bridge pickup is where I get confused as it only has three wires and bare wire. My confusion is I have no idea how to wire a four conductor in place of a three conductor pickup. Any help is appreciated.

In that diagram, bare and green go to the switch and ground just as shown. The PG red & white go to the mini where the white wire is, and the PG black goes where the red wire is.
