Any TB can be used; just calibrate the TPS once you've got it all hooked up!

As long as it's a cable operated one... the later 1.8T's with drive by wire are a pain.

Also, don't be confused by the 88-92 throttle bodies with the 3 wire connector with two switches (idle/wot) attached. VW tb's from auto cars of those years, as well as 92-95 aba or VR6 are good choices.
