I've been searching all over this and other sites and couldn't find much. Does the Sho-shop TB fit the Zetec? Are there any other TB's that can be used to upgrade a stock Zetec?

after-market spoiler

Pretty much any parts available for the Focus (not SVT) Zetec should fit our Zetecs. Includes throttle bodies, cam gears, cam shafts, valve covers, etc.

Zetec, ATX

wrong
for one the TB will just bolt up as it has been discused on here a number of time before (READ SEARCH THE THING WORK YOU KNOW) the cables are different on the focus and it is also different for a atx than a MTX on the focus also the intake manifold is different too.
cam gears yes they will work cause well the first came gears for the Zetec were made for the contour.
cams ummm no not exactly to make ANY of the aftermarket cams work you need to change out a few other parts to make them work (parts were explained in another thread where I mentioned a few differances) valve covers pre 98 yes post 98 not a chance in hell.
now click here and ask questions it much easier than asking cause this is my LAST post answering a question that has already been answered.
2003 Subaru WRX some mods
Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.

focus central throttle body, on order, i had to buy the 15 dollar bracket to make it work for my atx.
they work, and they fit, you just have to trim your cable.
im just surprised hector doesnt have one yet.
