To be honest, for a 2.2 with no other performance mods, I don't think you'd get a practical gain with either a ported 2.2 throttle body or TB off a 2.4.
I'd spend my money, first, on a Flowmaster exhaust and, if the truck is an automatic, on an Airaid intake kit.

Why "and if the car is an automatic" and Airraid kit.

The Airaid intake kit is not compatible with the manual trans. trucks. The rear of the airbox interferes with the cowl. I could not determine conclusively why this is but my belief is the engine is either mounted in a slightly different position or is tilted back more if the transmission is a manual.
I found that out when I started to do a product review of that system for this web site. When the kit did not fit properly, I called Airaid and, after a number of calls and emails with first their customer service dept and later their engineering staff, they agreed there was a problem. They, also, admitted that they didn't validate the kit on manual trans trucks and were unaware of the problem with their intake kit and the manuals until I brought it to their attention.
At the time (last Fall) they said they'd give anyone who bought the kit for a manual a refund. They, also, told me they had no plans to offer a specific kit for the manuals but might consider doing so at a later time.
