Should I just stick with the 986 one?
From 2000 onward, the "s" model used a different style sensor that is typically referred to as being an "e-gas" .

So, they sent me a replacement and this one looks exactly like what I had on already. The S like you said is a little different design. What they had sent me earlier was not the same. They were very professional about the whole things and paid shipping back and forth.

I didn't have to reset anything. The car quickly learnt and adjusted and all is well. You can really tell how the ODB is learning as you feel the change in response to the throttle. Still a bit way to go but happy. Thanks for the recommendation.
