Default TB Swap

I bought a ported TB about a week ago... Does anyone know what tool I need to remove the electronics from my current TB and switch them to the new one?

Thanks in advance

its like some T-20ish tamper proof torx.

if yo dont have any go to your local sears or parts store and buy you a set of [B]tamper proof[B] torx (they have little recesses in the center)

i have mostly snap on stuff but i bought some cheapo tamper proofs from auto zone when i was like 14 and i have yet to break one so..
