TPS will give the cleanest install but does cost a bit more than a standard micro switch and bracket.
Several companies out there make custom brackets to fit different cars.
Nitrous Outlet has a billet one clean install and not much money.
Give Dave a Call.

We do both styles, a switch at the gas pedal or the TPS. They both work fine. Throttle mounted switches would probably be the last choice. Vibration, heat and water, the switches take a beating. The TPS switch is fully potted, adjustable and reliable.

I had an NX fancy pants switch thing, and it was a PITA
i swaped it for a 50 cent micro switch.
and if it goes bad, its 2 wires and cheep. i keep a spare right in my tool box.

I just firmly believe in the mechanical one on the throttle body versus anything electrical or one on the pedal..........you can NOT go wrong with one right there on the throttle body...when it goes wide open throttle- it's activated and bam- you have activation at wide open throttle. Works every time, no questions.... :-)

i was really more interested in how reliable they are and the cleanlieness of the install. now that i am aware of the custom TB brackets, i wil probably go that route myself.
