Has anyone come up with a replacement for the TPS without replacing the whole throttle body?

When throttle bodies are bored out they recalibrate the TPS,I dont understand why the manual says you have to replace the TB's if the TPS is out or damaged

Nope, ji. That is like a one piece part that cannot be bought individually. About the only thing you can change are the injectors, o-rings and hoses. The sub and TPS sensors are part of that one t-body part so if yours fails, it's unit complete to buy that one part.

Hub is right, the TPS is integral to the throttle assembly.
Looking on the fiche, there is one replaceable sensor, the 21176 Pressure Sensor, sitting on the fuel rail.
Other than that, and some brackets and such, the 16163 Throttle Assembly is the latest version and you'd have to buy one for over $1,000 if the TPS went bad, or find a "used" one on eBay or something.
If that is going to happen to me, I hope it happens before my extended warranty and maintenance contract wears out.

dar, The 14's TPS is too easy to recalibrate without an ohm meter. Nor, is this a suzuki dash my calibration tps. Now you see those needles swing on their own, it's like the busa mechanical all taken care electronically how far we've gone since that busa intro in 1999. Digitally, that tiny dash tps swing to zero. It either sits there or not; look at the screw and elongation channel. Not too much to move is there? I.E., no meter needed but to watch (((FI))) magically show a screen it's so digital Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Priv, It is like comparing apples to oranges. If Brock has THE map, you mention it moves over rocks better is you compared a race map kind of has nothing downstairs and you cannot, repeat, cannot compare one map against the other if one is made for a parameter and worked on for hours on end so that combo kind of remains consistent; I would think?
My point is you made a 'comparison' and that reads like you threw Brock under the bus is his map. Now, you take Brock's map and run a baseline. Switch to the phone map and now you'll see a torque wave headed downstairs bet me. And that is no, I won't eat your dyno time. Not if you can come over here we do it for free on my loaner kind of bet.
It is how I read your 'travel over the rocks vs. the 1320 Brocks' LOL
