Think it's about time I had a bigger one of these, but I'm wondering... do you have to re-calibrate the TPS if you take it off?

And will I need some kind of gasket set?

Thanks all...

No calibration needed, just make sure it still clicks just off idle.
Buy a new inlet manifold to throttle body gasket, pence from the dealers.

Thanks Simon - but what I meant was, do you have to disturb its position when you take it off the old TB and put it on the new one, or is the adjustment for click-just-off-idle more internal than that, and so not get disturbed in the move?

You got an M3 now mate? Is it a left-hooker?

Roger, Ian supplies these with a reset TPS, its bolt on and go mate. as for the gasket, you may find its too small for the TB outlet now, mines got a dap of RTF sealing it up now for that same reason.
