Removing TPS

IS there any way i can remove the TPS without completely taking off the throttle body? The last screw on the bottom is a real bitch to get to, so any suggestions?

Not sure on an NA. The TII TPS is fairly easy to remove after you remove the intercooler.
Good Luck!

Yep, you do have to remove the throttle body.

Hex or rob are the best ever. Flat heads and philips are so unbelievably useless.
