yes that will work for the TB,


If the IM is off the car Carb cleaner is a good way to clean it, pull the stock injectors and clean them up to. If its still on the car use Seafoam.

As said above yes you can make your own TB gasket, but you might be better off just going to the dealership and getting the correct one for your throttle body. I've heard of countless vaccum leaks being the result of a wrong TB gasket... HTH.
