Default Surging IDLE - Fast Idle Thermo Valve SOLVED

I am having the surging idle problem with my car, goes from 1000 to 2000 RPM all the time. Found out it is the Fast Idle Thermo Valve - which I don't really need cause we live in Fl. My question is..

What TB can I purchase for my engine that will get rid of this valve? I think the JDM ITR TB does not have the FITV, right?

Would it be a direct bolt on? I have a 94 GSR engine basically.

Would any of the BBK or Spoon TB's work as well? Do these aftermarket TBs have a mount for the FITV that you must use?

Since I am going to have to take off the TB anyway and bypass the FITV - might as well get a larger TB - my car will respond well to a larger bore size... The JDM ITR TB is 67mm, good enough - or should I go to 70mm?

I found a 1996 JDM ITR TB for a good price and need to know if it will work and if it is worth it..

Anyone have an easy solution to get rid of the FITV??
