Provided the matching surfaces of the intake manifold and throttle body are flat the original/replacement gasket should fit just fine without need for any sealant. Just torque the throttle body down to specs. If however you cannot find a replacement gasket, buy the material and make one

Buy one of those sheets of paper gasket and cut it out yourself with a nice sharp blade. If both surfaces are straight you can use some RTV but make sure you don't put too much and give it enough time to get tacky before you torque the the TB down.

bbk sells a 62mm throttle body for Eclipse Turbo. I know they will sell a gasket separately.
