You will want to pick up a new TB gasket before you remove it though. Around $10 at the dealership.

If you can not find a gasket in time from local providers, using gasket maker/paper, to cut out and make your own, and some RTV silicone will work just fine. I used it when I replaced my TB with a ported/polished one. Works fine and I don't have any leaks. If you choose to do it this way, make sure you allow the silicone about 14-24 hours to dry depending on how dry it is over there before driving or else you will end up sucking it clean thru and into the intake manifold.

Good luck!
