OR 91 carb vs TBI

So I am having a hard time finding a TPS for my s5 vert. So I was curious has to how difficult it would be to convert to a carb? How do I get around the ECU? How will it affect my 2 delayed ports? What are the odds that if I put a new TPS on and tune it that it will last, or will it fry like the last two I had?
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Chris

you don't look hard enough.,..well unless you want New and then you may as well order one and cry as they are 450 bucks.
I got a S5 TPS,and I am sure there are people that have one also.Been seeing them go for about 50 bucks.
You just have to post a WTB in the Sec GEN section.

tossing a carb on a EFI engine is a whole new ball game.So if you think the EFI stuff is confusing ..heh...wait until you try to adjust a carb on different temperatured days.
By the time you get done you will have spent more on that Carb setup than a new tps..
