Did you determine you couldn't get it from an ECU pin?

Yes, the 968 is either on or off, no in between. Unlike the 951 before it. Trying to see how others have mounted them.

I'll have to look at find you a photo. String pots are the easiest to hookup, but the most expensive.

I would imagine a string pot on the throttle bellcrank in the engine compartment would be best. Here is a pic of one on a Miata...

Thanks everyone. Was really hoping for a pic on my car so I could see how to fabricate a bracket.

I think you could fab a bracket that is attached at the cable housing end on top and run the string pot around the pulley to the same attachment point as the throttle cable.

Reviving an old thread. Still looking for a tutorial on installing my AIM TPS sensor on a 968. Finally got the brake pressure, RPM, etc working well. Now just need to figure out how to mount the TPS. Has anyone done this that could send me a picture of the bracket you fabricated? Thanks.

Van showed me his setup, pretty clever. Unfortunately I've got the 3.0 motor. It's different. There's a lot of 968s and S2s out there. Someone more clever than me must have done this before.

Might you have a pic of the brake pressure sensor installation? I am going to embark on that myself.

My master cylinder needed replacement, and the new one had an extra port where the sensor just screwed in. No fancy install. Sorry.
