Throttle position sensor mounting

Hi everyone.

I have been looking for dimensions for the throttle position sensor for a S4 turbo. I don't have my intake manifold within 1000 miles of me right now, so simply going and measuring it is out of the question.

Does anybody know where there are any blueprints of this sensor describing both the input shaft and mounting holes?

thanks in advanced.

what exactly are you trying to do? what does having an intake manifold have to do with a TPS?

I am building my own ITB setup, and i am trying to figure out what my bolt holes are going to be for my TPS before i start machining. The tps is on the intake manifold..

Why in the world would you use a S4 TPS if you are building your own intake system?

I don't know why I'm even posting. All your questions about this "epic" project point to a massive lack of knowledge and no hope it will ever be complete.

Yeah, I'm being a jerk. But question after question about this "epic project" has shown me that maybe you need a bit of tough love instead of polite responses.

A little bit of even the most basic research would have shown you that almost no one uses an S4 TPS in a standalone installation. Why? Because it is a plunger type and therefore hard to mount up. It is probably worn out. It has a very narrow range of movement. Almost all standalone users convert to a modern rotary style TPS from a Ford or GM application. Most ITBs come with one of these already mounted.

well thats all i needed to know
that kind response is unnecessary.. you don't know what im building, and you don't know what knowledge i have or don't have. Mabey i like to have second opinions.
and who said i was using somebody elses ITB setup?

before you start any project, you should be at least ten steps ahead of yourself.
You should have already known how to mount up something as simple as a TPS before you even thought about designing your own ANYTHING.
