For a brand new part, that's a very good price.

There's no such thing as a "rebuilt" TPS for these cars.

The NA S5 TPS's are the most expensive and run $360.

Unless Airtex is emptying a dusty warehouse or blowing out inventory, I wouldn't trust a $140 TPS.

Make sure you verify the old TPS. Sometimes all you need to do is set it correctly.

The 140 dollar TPS works great. TPS are a ripoff...just two simple linear potentiometers on a metal bracket. Maybe 10 bucks in parts total.
