Throttle body question

I have replaced the TUNED PORT INJECTION plate on the top of my throttle body with another plate. Also I have once removed the coolant unit off the bottom and put it back on. Question is, do the gaskets need to be replaced, or will they still be ok? What kind of problems will I see from this. The reason they were removed is because I bought a throttle body off another corvette forum member and they wanted their original coolant piece off the bottom of their throttle body back, so I put on my old one from the stock throttle body.

Thanks in advance.

They do make a gasket set for the throttle body, I think it is like $10. It has both gaskets you are refering to.

I have heard you can re-use the gasket. Use common sense here, if it looks like it still has its shape and resiliency (Spelling?) then I would use it.
