The shop you went to is dumb. A type s tps would require you to re-pin the connector from your harness. You need Kpro and a competent shop that knows how to tune.
Rpm’s jumping down and up and car shakes like crazy
So recently I installed a skunk2 ultra street intake manifold with a skunk2 70mm throttle body, I took it to a shop cause the car was idling at 3k, once they finished with my car they said I needed a type s tps for my Rsx base, when the car is semi warm the car runs fine and doesn’t bog when I shift gears, but as soon as the car warms up the rpms start jumping from 2k to 1k and when I shift the car shakes like if I were to let off the clutch to fast, also when the rpm’s are low as I’m driving the car shakes very terribly, does anyone know what it can be?

Had this same exact issue after I did a trans swap.
Usually would happen when I turned the A/C on.
The car needs KPRO and a tune.
( Rule of thumb to everybody, when messing with anything that deals with swapping or changing sensors, you will most likely need KPRO and a tune. )

Also forgot to mention that with KPRO that you might not pass emissions since the readiness codes will keep getting erased at the smog shop when they turn off your ignition for testing.
At least that is what happened to me ( and some others on this forum ).

I am in Cali and I passed smog with my k24 rsx with kpro. As long as it looks stock and no engine lights, it's good. I can't speak for everyone though since every smog techs are different in experience levels.Also forgot to mention that with KPRO that you might not pass emissions since the readiness codes will keep getting erased at the smog shop when they turn off your ignition for testing.
