so i stripped my intake manifold this weekend and replaced the gaskets, removed/re-routed some vac lines etc... but when i went to replace the TB after removing it and cleaning it, i realized the intake manifold gasket set i bought did not come with a replacement for the trashed throttle body piece.

the only replacement i can find seems to be as a part of a complete set, which i don't need, or a part for the sr-20 which i *hear* is the same, but need confirmation on.

anyone have an answer? thanks in advance.
