How can I get a Full Range TPS in an S4?

Trying to use an S5 dual-TPS on an S4 TB won't work (even if you managed to mount it) because there's no cam on the throttle shaft to operate the full-range TPS. There's nothing there to actually push the plunger in.
Maybe the FD one would be more appropriate.

It's funny, as I reread this thread, I have realized the advantage of the S5 TB - and TB only. In my mind I had thought that I'd have to replace the whole S4 TB, dynamic chamber and runners, not just the actual B its self. Realizing this, I can see why it is so much easier to put the whole TB on instead.
If I can pick up an S5 TB with TPS and simply bolt it op to the intake instead of the S4 unit - it would be much easier.
After I do that and attach the OMP, will I have to recalibrate it, or should it be pretty much "plug and play"?

im not sure about this but i think that the plunger on the narrow range s5 tps has a different amount of travel than the s4, you might want to take that into consideration because it would change the throttle reading. I mite be wrong though
