If your going to keep the stock TB and you can get one cheap why not. If you plan on modding the car then just save money for an aftermarket TB.

I think it would be more wise to try a TB bypass. Max amount you'll spend is about $5 and some change if you pick up the parts and dont just have them lying around. I wouldn't think its a bad investment for about 6rwhp
