Haltech/GM TPS mount Questions

ive searched, and honestly i didnt see much. plus i have no time to really dig through anything.

how are you guys running your GM TPS on the throttle body? on the secondary butterflies?

i have the haltech gray series TPS (clockwise ver) which has to go on the front top side of the Throttle body or inner (fire wall side) lower side of the TII throttle body.

i wanted to keep my OMP setup, but i have already removed the secondary butterflies as well as the slider, and had drilled/tig'd it shut so it eliminates 2 more possible mounting spots to run this TPS.

i need advice... right now it seems like i'll have to ditch either start fresh on a new TB, or ditch the OMP, and do some machining...
i have 16 days till this car needs to be in tech inspection ready to drive.

Dude just run the stock tps.

When its all hooked up to the laptop then you can check if it reads 0% -100% accurately.

Then when u find out how ur gonna mount it, do that.

Also you should delete omp and run premix... Its atomized oil that burns cleaner as well

every time i ran premix i either ran so much that it diluted the octane rating down, or that **** seriously wouldnt lube the motor. i had no omp on the motor that blew 90 times. i like having added insurance, as i premix with Redline oil for every event.

thanks for the heads up on stock one. i was looking at the rotary works TB, and to even use that (although its cheaper than machining, and GM TPS will bolt on) the end tube bolt locations are different for the intercooler piping end plate thing i had forrest make all sick looking. i can't ditch that.
stock TPS it is... hopefully i can find one that'll read correctly

my haltech tps took place of my omp stuff.. i agree on running stock tps. computer bases most of its calculations on map sensor anyway and 16 days with a new ecu.. thats cutting it close.

Yea its going to be tuned at full throttle, and dude is right about the map. The tuning will be off boost pressure as well as air temp, water temp and rpm.

I had my car tuned for 9 hours one day, dyno tuning would be awesome and could be done in one day. Drift it and see if it has legit afr's.

Then XDC

Yes, that's the S4 mechanical OMP and TPS. The cam lobe came off an s5 TPS. the e6k reads the S4 TPS just fine.

thank you everyone. looks like i spent money when i didnt need to. i was under the understanding that the TPS was best to get from haltech (GM) and the map sensor also from haltech. i saw kyle mohans FC this weekend @ FD, and saw the 2 S5 TPS setup so i'm going to just get another few S4 ones, and use 1, and have a bunch of spares like always...

just sold ALL of my good ones, as i thought i needed the GM one. oh well, thanks for all the info. its much appreciated with my time crunch situation.
