For the tb service, if you can do it yourself, look at the kits from ECS tuning. Otherwise, start calling dealers and specialists for prices including the tb, wp, tensioners, rollers, and t-stat.

As for mods, chip it and upgrade your diverter valve. It's a night and day difference. GIAC, AWE, etc, etc. Do a search for info.

TB should be around $700 plus anything else you wanna do while you're at it.

Great place to start as Tweaked stated above
Run you about $500 for a GIAC chip, $40 for 710N DV (unless you find used one)
If you want a used 710N, PM s4tech i think he's still got one... That's where I got mine
