I can tell you from experience that you want the position sensors in the DBW actuator and not on the ITBs.

Thanks - I appreciate your help. The EFI hardware does look like it will be easier to mount. I'm planning on using what I learn on the 911 on my old Jag. The Jag has a ridiculous amount of parts from the pedal to the carbs. If there was ever a car that needed DBW, the jag is it. Two $1000 throttle motors versus two $250 throttle motors is significant.
One of the problems I have with these new products in the EFI market is that they might not exist tomorrow. Was it Rasant that bowed out not too long ago? They seemed well respected in the space. I guess the sale volume, $$$, just wasn't there. There's been quite a few small time product makers here on Pelican that have vanished too.
