Will wasn't happy with the WOT % the TPS was reading.

I can change the bracket. I was not aware it made such a difference to the TPS readings, which i am not able to check

Steve, as i remember, the issue with the bracket was the distance it sat the throttle cable away from the throttle body.

From memory i seem to recall that on the original holes after fitting and calibrating your new TPS the maximum readings we could achieve were approximately 60-65%.

After grinding the mounting holes as much as i dared we were into the 75% region which is right on the tolerance for Wide Open Throttle conditions.

I seem to recall i stopped at that point for fear of weakening the bracket structure to the point that there would have been a risk of failure.

If you want to fit your new bracket before the car comes back up to us, i'll be checking the calibration and sensor range as part of the pre-mapping check so can make any adjustments at that point.
