Question Stock Throttle Body Replacement?

Long story short, two bolts that hold the throttle flange to throttle body shaft came of and the car decided to eat some screws.
Im now looking for a new throttle body to go with my ported stock manifold for evo8.

My question is
Would you recommend replacing this with a brand new throttle body?
What other after market throttle body options are available that will mount up to stock intake manifold and gain some power? is it worth the price?

I used a amazon knock off of the S90 billet TB that I got for like 125$ car made 820whp but after about a year f high boost, one of the shafts seals are leaking. Its a cheap fix but I decided to go with a fullblown unit Ill sell you my old one for 50$ shipped if you want it. Just needs selas that are $30 from STM.
looks like this
