Default TB question

Is there a gasket that goes between the TB and the intake manifold?

I didn't remember at first on the stock intake and TB but I found this pic and there is a orange gasket on it.
I know on the Fast intakes there is a orange rubber seal gasket because I just put my new TB on last week.

This is a modified oval intake but it is the same as a stock 75mm intake.

Yes there is one, and it is something that you want to have a good seal on. the vaccuum leak right there could really cause you some driveability issues.

Are you referring to the orange one that was mentioned above?
