bulletIts also worth noting how to reset the stepper motor once the throttle body has been fitted, I'm sure its in at least one of the above links, but worth repeating -
    1) Start the engine and warm up to a normal working temperature.
    2) Turn off the ignition.
    3) Turn on ignition to stage II (with electric window available but don't start the engine).
    4) Press the accelerator all the way down and fully release five times repeatedly.
    5) Wait for at least 15 seconds and then turn off the ignition.
