Were you planning on using the 2.0L 16v TB?  You may find that a BMW or
Mercedes Motronic system uses the potentiometer style but I am not sure of
years.  You may also find other potentiometer style TPSs on a lot of other
cars (foreign and domestic) that uses the same size D shaft that the 16v TB
uses.  HTH!!
