For my TPS, I sourced the Variohm sensor from Digikey—it features a standard D connector and fit my BMW throttle motor. It's also dual sensing which is needed for DBW.

Hi Montauk,

I just ordered the Variohm sensor from Digikey as well - I should have it in a week. Then I will be able to see first hand the difference in signal stability between the potentiometer based TPS and the Hall effect based TPS. Thanks for the info!
