ok, im going to get the 2000 intake manifold and was wondering if the TB and everthing else fits it. i dont have to worry about the egr system, its disabled.
i know that the '00-'02.5 have a diferent TB. FYI i have an '03 zetec.

Everything will bolt-on no problem even your egr if you still had it.

awesome! i was amazed at the price when i found it only $150. i thought there might be a catch at that price. does anybody know how much of an improvement it makes?

obviously it would differ depending on what mods you had but ya know what im saying.

ooohh I don't want to open that can of worms again. That just starts a thread war on what gains you get. Really you probably don't gain much if anything at all. If I had to guess maybe you get better throttle response. If it did make a difference then the 00' focus would put out more from the factory than the 01' focus.

thats very true, thanks for the info

i know this is off topic but have you seen the CFM 170hp N/A focus build? they've got a parts list and everything! its pretty cool, it gives us n/a guys hope! LOL

yeah thats about it though for n/a unless you want to be unstreetable. FC (focus central) had a car that was even more a monster. It had a custom intake manifold and get this dual 65mm tb's cause it needed that much air lol. mlbbaseball is putting down 164 whp with his zetec.
