Default Throttle Body question please help

The first company that tuned my car drilled a BIG hole in the blade of my Nick Williams 92mm throttle body. Can I replace just the throttle blade? If so, where do I get one?

My new, much better tuner was having some trouble getting it to idle the way he wanted because of the size of the hole.

EDIT: I've contacted Nick Williams

I was looking all over the internet for him, then I posted the question. I didnt think to check the members list here. Well I feel dumb.

Find a new tuner. Who knows how to tune fuel injection. The idle air valve and cold start settings is used to set idle. Any one who would drill a hole in the throttle blade doesn't know squat about tuning, either fuel injection or carb.

I have found a new tuner. The guys who drilled it were a sponsor on here and they had good feedback. I thought they knew what they were doing but I was VERY wrong. The new tuner, Matt from Tune Time Performance, couldnt believe they drilled out the hole in the TB.
The drill happy tuner is no longer in business, so there is no reason to name them.


Anyway, UPDATE: I got in contact with Nick Williams. I am going to send it to him so he can get the correct blade for the throttle body.
