well i know the tps sensor from both models are different... one is a shorter range than the other one... i do not believe they would work with different ecus because the output signal varies from the two... just buy a s5 tps and be done with it

S5 doesn't obvious have the linkage for the mechanical OMP on the S4.
For all intent and purposes, they are not directly swappable.

Here is an idea, buy a used one, there are tons of guys who have spare tps's lying around. all you gotta do is post in the forsale section of the classifids and let people knwo what part you need. odds are they are not going to charge you an arm and a leg for such a little part.

You do realize that the non-turbo versus turbo TB's are mounted upside-down compared to each other?
