Default tps sensor question??

What's up guys, I'm looking to do a few upgrades to my 02 type s I found an aftermarket tps sensor for my rsx and my question is do I need 1 and if so what does it do. Probly a stupid question but I don't want to do anything half assed. looking to upgrade to a skunk2 throttle body.

It's just a sensor, how is that going to make your car any faster? Think about it.

upgraded throttle body isn't worth it either. What mods do you have done now? You staying n/a or going boost. And don't say you want to go boost like everyone with hopes and dreams but not actually ever going to do it.

you probably found OmniPower's TPS sensor. those are replacement sensors if your stock one goes out.

no need to upgrade TB. according to Chris Dye who did tests on his race car, no gains were seen.
