Where to get FBW throttle body? I got an LS6 intake to put on my LQ9, but it came with a mechanical throttle body. Where can I find a ls1 or ls6 fly by wire throttle body? I have seen a couple on E-bay, but want to know if there is any where else.
I have not physicaly checked, but I thought I read that my truck TB has a different bolt pattern, and will not fit.
Thanks

I think I need a different water pump (F-body or 07 or newer truck) and idler relocation bracket. Is that correct? Anything else? I have the injectors that came with the intake (28#), and I will need different injector connectors.
Thanks again.

You'll need to reroute the belt. Dirty dingo and Schwanke make relocation kits. Or you can make your own.

You'll have to clearance the alternator mount too.
An L92 pump might clear the TB, depending on which TB you've got.
Otherwise an F body pump with spacers (available on ebay) will work.
The injectors might work with the LS6 intake if you remove the plastic tips. There's a writeup on this in the truck forums.
The LS6 fuel rail wont reach the truck injectors. You can use the truck rail or aftermarket billit with modified hold downs.

SO MANY OPTIONS 
I could sell you my LY6 pump, modified truck accessory bracket, and idler spacer if you want them. I no longer plan to use them. That would give you something like this:
If you're thinking about a new waterpump, you could use the L99 & tensioner pump for the 5th gen automatic Camaros. It works with the truck (LQ4/9, LY6, L92, etc) crank spacing and puts the outlet on the drivers side, but also requires the L99 specific tensioner. Here is a picture of one:
Combined with L99 PS pump, Trailblazer AC compressor, and LY6 truck alternator in a low mount position, my LY6 with LS3 intake accessory drive looks like this and everything uses the stock truck crank spacing:

Part numbers and pricing from www.gmpartsgiant.com before tax & shipping. www.gmpartsdirect.com is a hair cheaper, but these guys were local to me
19207665 Waterpump $177.54
12610792 P/S pump bracket $12.14
92229662 P/S pump $95.78
12610794 P/S pump pulley $24.09
Total $379.14*
*Doesn't include the required L99 tensioner (different from older truck tensioners), alternator or AC. I'd have to dig those up, but basically all these parts can be looked up for the 2010+ Camaro with the L99 engine option. The alternator on the L99 is different and mounted slighly differently (further from the block) than the older 4th generation Camaro LS1. I recommend against it for swap purposes.

Ok, so I can reuse my LQ9 throttle body, but the Tb bolts do not come off the truck intake.
Where can I get the 3 throttle body intake bolts? Can I use some form the hardware store if I can find them? m6 x 1.0mm is that correct?
Thanks
