New throttle body missing the TPS?

Hi everybody. Been a while since I had any problems with my Subaru, till about 2 months ago that is.

I was having the rough idle/complete loss of power symptoms described in some of the other throttle body posts. So I went ahead and bought a new throttle body from Subaru. There wasn't one available in the US, so I waited patiently for my part to arrive from Japan. It came today, and I was a little surprised to see that there was no Throttle Position Sensor attached to the assembly. Is this right? I thought that the high price for this part (approx: $660) would be because it came with the TPS attached. Honestly, I cant believe how much I just spent on basically a butterfly valve!

So, did my part ship incomplete?

The part number on the box is: 16118AA801

Unfortunately, no the TPS does not come with the throttle body.

If you can return it (I kinda doubt it) I have a good TB with the TPS included for $50 and shipping. Putting your TPS on the new TB and getting it set up right is a PITA, they are set at the factory and they put a dab of locker on the screw to keep it in place.

No, they're easy to setup
