Default Can't Seem to find the right throttle body 96 si w/sensor on top

My prelude's a 96 si dohc non-vtec. I purchased 2 prelude throttle bodies already and both are different compared to the one on my car. The one on the car has 2 sensors, 1 on the back (in front of the firewall) which is the tps sensor, but there's also 1 other sensor directly on top. Both newly purchased throttle bodies only have 1 sensor, the tps sensor. Which throttle should I be looking for?

sounds like it's a jdm version which has the map sensor located off the engine and a vacuum port in its place on the throttle body

Why do you want a new throttle body? Are you trying to go for a bigger one, or is there a problem with yours? If you want a bigger one, try a Blox, Omni, or Skunk2, you should be able to get any of them with both sensor spots.

Just so you know, if you need to replace the TPS, just slot the screws on there and take them off with a screwdriver, then put some of the right size metric bolts in to replace them for next time.
