Throttle body differences.

Are the TB's the same for s5 Turbo and s5 NA? I can get a turbo one with the TPS for cheap, all I need is the TPS but this complete one is cheaper than the sensor alone so maybe I can use the TB also. Thanks.

the aluminum housing, may be the same, but the whole assembly is different. On an N/A TB, the throttle cable connects to the near side (towards the firewall) and rotates the pullys counter clockwise. whereas the turbo throttle cable connects to the farside of the TB and rotates the pullies clockwise. you might be able to switch out the pullys and rods they mount on, but i'm not sure all the return springs will mount properly then.

however, since you only need the TPS, those are the same. and easy to switch out.

wrong. A tps for the S5 NA and T2 are not the same. I had a chanve to examine both such units and they are different as far as positioning is concerned. However I am unsure if they are the same electronically, but mechanically they are made different. As in they are in different positions.

I currently do not, however I did purchase a S5 NA tps from Kevin Landers of Roatary Resurrection, he had both the NA and T2's on hand, they were different.
