My Q is this, is there anything I need for fitting to the stock ST200/SVT UIM? It looks slightly different to the stock TB, but until I get my Pro-Maf, I ain't fitting the 3.0l TB. This is only so I have the required parts when I do come to fit it. I've also optimized the Butterfly bar, anything else I should do when it's in bits? TIA, Gary My Car, Go on.....Take a Look!

A 3L TB is the same size as a stock SVT/ST200 TB (60mm) However it is machined completely different and the linkage is backwards. (among a few other things!) Modifying it to fit would be a serious amount of work and may require a bit a parts fabrication. BTW - if you have a ST200 you already have a 60mm TB!!! 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

At least it gives me something to play with now instead of butchering my stock one. Making a mount for it will not be a problem as I have a machine shop. Will there be any gains you think?

The SVT/ST200 TB uses a special linkage cam to give much better throttle response. As for "performance" numbers. "It's the same thing" I highly recommend optimizing your stock TB and using the 3L one as a fancy paperweight.. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
