You can also source them from Prowire-USA.

Awesome thanks

Google really sucks lately

Everything that comes up searching is from China or unrelated products

IDK what delay customs would cause going up to Canada, but Prowire gets their shipments out blindingly fast, usually same day. They also actually answer the phones! They also stock a lot of shrink tube, heat shrink boots, wire, connector kits, and connector parts. They’re fantastic

Do you need the whole connector? Or just the boot? The TPS is a 6 position connector. Hard to find. Check the other thread here about Junior Timer connectors, there's part numbers for just the boots. The 6 pos connector though I've only found via 944online, also mentioned in that thread.

Back when I was making a new harness for my S2, I had a really difficult time finding a 90 degree boot for the 2 pin JPT connector. This is a nice thing to have for the injectors which have an immediate turn toward the firewall for the wiring, just off the injector. Anyway, the only place I really found that offered these was Low Doller Motorsports (no affiliation, and that spelling is correct for the vendor!). Not really what you're looking for but it may be helpful to you for other work.

Cheers

Thanks.

I thought I had read something recently.

Been reading so much stuff lately car related and work related my memory is overstuffed.

Hmmmm....... this suddenly became less hypothetical to me. :( @gruhsy did you ever find the boot at a reasonable price? I really don't want to pay for the whole connector kit just to get the boot unless I really have to... or maybe I need to just print one in Ninjaflex....?
