Default Changing throttle body

Hi, the idle screw is seized in my 4x4 Saph and it idles at 500 and was recommended to change to a 2wd throttle body as the screw doesn't seize. Are these a direct fit and all the sensors are the same? Also how do you calibrate the throttle position sensor when I swop it over?
Thanks

Multi meter for the TPS - 4x4 settings

<0.35 v at closed throttle
4.5-5v at wide open throttle
