I have driven with mine unplugged. (accidently)
You will get a "check engine".
On the S5, you loose the MOP, which can kill the motor.
It wastes fuel on deceleration, but with nice exhaust flames.

You will have to ask a 3rd gen peerson.

You must have a working TPS in order for you car to run properly.

you are pretty screwed unless you go to a standalone system and either try to use the FD TPS with the standalone or make a custom bracket for the one that comes with the standalone.

I haven't seen anyone use the FD manifold with the stock ecu.

the closest would have been soul. but even his ecu was different. I not sure what he used for a TPS.
