I just went to the local auto parts store and bought some sheets of gasket material, traced out the throttle body and cut out a gasket. Works great so far.

Im using a Ford TB, it came with a gasket. I did use sealer though, as the flange on the elbow wasnt 100% flat. It wasnt bad, but not good enough.
For the elbow to intake, I had the elbow machined flat, and bolted it up with some sealer, no gasket.
Pressure tested it on the engine, and it does not leak.
