Don't use carb cleaner, it is too harsh, get TB cleaner. The old gasket will not come off in one piece :) and you will have to scrape it off. A new one is cheap, even at the dealer.
Make sure the vacuum tree is clean, too. Be careful, the nipples on the tree are fragile.

If you are using regular gas, stop and fill it with 89 octane. That is minumum for a turbo, LPT or HP.
