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.

The hole is about 1/4"-5/16" and a bit oblonged.

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.
