I revised this,
tell if i did this correctly.
im hoping so.

I hope your new TB runs like new. !!!

i think the slot, cut, prevents the gasket from deforming, buckling, from fuel, oil, egr gasses and other nasty stuff, there, if was not cut it ,might warp there and block the path, so when done, there is aluminum on both sides (M.T) and alum and hard heater plastic in this case but are reliable path.
might take a long time to do that (warp) and be a big pain to find, im sure.
also the center gasket, (TB) middle, loves to harden, crack; then suck in, this causes crazy TB actions, even that bleed hole drilling, can suck air from that and engine races forever.
