Variable TPS
I needed to install one the other day, so I collected some info on the subject and put it online on my site.

The #2 bmw was pnp (with fun bracketry, pnp wiring wise) on my install. It had to face backwards, towards the firewall to fit and rotate properly, and I believe that the voltage signal was reversed because of this. But it worked ok without switching any wires and such. Mine got some weird noise when it was cold outside, Im not sure what caused that issue.

RS-components has a U.S. distributor named Allied Electronics. After some searching I found the Vishay/Wabash tps only by the part number 971-0002. It is not listed by either manufacturer name nor with a picture.

I did a 91 tps conversion this week with a tps201. It works but I'm already worried that if I stomp the throttle hard enough a few times it's going to shave that tooth off. I'm gonna try to hunt down the vishay one I think, looks like a better way to go. Thanks for the info, good stuff.
good luck finding the vishay.

Check the link I posted above. The Vishay tps part number #971-0002 is available from Allied Electronics which is the U.S. distributor for the R.S. Components (where Frank found it). The part numbers are the same and the price is the same at 60 usd on both websites, but the Allied site lacks a picture of the tps in their catalog.
