Yes it should have a gasket...

It is felpro # 60654 I believe. that is what came up when I looked it up at work (Autozone). When you take the tb the gasket pretty much always tears because they turbo and tb kinda grow together. I checked for a vacuum leak there one time and had a small leak so I took the tb off and added a smear coat of silicone and that fixed the problem.

God luck,
