I bought a turbo TPS for my N/A and it didnt work.
How do you get around the 180 degree out issue.
Turn the insides of the TPS?
It will not mount 180 and still have room for cables.
I can not get my car to idle below 2500 RPMs for the life of me.

hey man i had that idle problem big time today it went up to 3000rpm and it was idling at 1k earlier

so i pulled over and if you check the throttle cable by the throttle body and if you see a nut on it loosing it up and then take a flat head and loosing the bolt...if i had a picture i would show you. but it works fine it went from 3k to 650 and thats the first time my car has ever gotten to 650 rpm then just take the nut and tighten it up

mines is a turbo so it works you might have a screw on the side of your thorttle body that you can adjust to lower your rpm
