Broken TGV sensor, which one do I order????

as far as I can see we have 4 TGV sensors (05 Legacy GT)

I broke the one closest to the turbo, so rear passenger side one.

Here is a picture of the part numbers.

But from what I can see I can only buy one for the front passenger side or the rear drivers side?

Can someone please help I havent been able to drive my car for a week as I cant find the propper part

There are only two, not four.

It is said that the throttle position sensor is identical to the TGV sensor but don't count on it - it can depend on model year and market.

As for the sensor - it's not specified in the picture you provided, but it's opposite to the actuator designated 14120/14120A. The one opposite to 14120A is easily accessible from the front of the engine while the other is trickier to access.

I hope that this helps.

Also see pic below:

ehsnils, you never cease to amaze me with your knowledge about these cars.

Thanks for all the help you give.

As for if it is identical to the throttle position sensor (which you can probably figure out by comparing them on the engine you have) you can go here https://www.subaruonlineparts.com/oempartscat.html, select your car model and do a keyword search for Throttle position sensor.

Thanks!

I'm just stubborn!

I bought a used set from grimmspeed.com for about $30. 2 sensors and 2 motors and a set of stickers. Quick shipping. I also broke that same one. Let me guess. Trying to access the banjo bolt? Good luck

Ok so the part numbers on the picture I provided are for the actual motors and not the position sensors?

Where can I find a part number for exactly what I need then?

Yes thats how I broke it

I looked on the Grimmspeed website but didnt see any for sale?

Also again to clarify, was it a sensor or motor your replaced?

Found it on grimmspeed and ordered!

Any tips on installation?

Just be careful when removing the old one, it's mounted with pre-tension (about 90 degrees) on a flat pin and 2 crews holds it in place. If you just rotate it to release the tension first then remove it you get it right since the flat pin only goes into the sensor in steps of 90 degrees.

ok so I remove the screws then rotate it which way?

The way the built-in spring leads you.

im surprised no one suggested a set of TGV deletes haha

OK so will the sensor spin when I take both screws off?

I would but it requires a custom tune.

Yes it will. Just hold it with your fingers, no tools needed.

well that was a waste of ******* time... theres not enough room between the turbo and the sensor to take it off and I lost the screws trying to get it back in...

I'm looking into TGV deletes now, is there any harm in driving with the deletes without being tuned?
