You could try www.car-parts.com and get a used one. I used this site quite a lot, I just bought an intake manifold and throttle body that I am in the process ofpolishing presently, amongst other things.

Who's we? Good luck on finding and upgraded one. It wouldn't even be worth it with just a chip either.

You can also get an adapter plate from 034motorsport to use an S4 tb.

The only thing I have seen so far to "upgrade" the throttle body is this:
http://www.sprintbooster.com/index2.html
all it does it speed up the throttle body's reaction in a DBW car. One of the guys on AW tried it and liked it.
I guess you could still do a bit of polishing in the throttle body's throat to smoothen things up...?
