my question is kindof about the how to. at the top it says it can be done to all vehicles, but in the how to...it says it will show the most imporvement in 2.5L...does that mean it cant be done on 2.0l?? i wouldnt think so but i just wanted to check and make sure. my other question...if it can be done, has anyone done it in a 2.0 and if so...is the outcome noticable...and is it worth it?
thanks

i didnt mean the new throttle boby...i meant the otimized throttle body in the how to where you countersink the screws(sorry for not being more clear)

????????? well countersinking the screws isnt the only part of optimizing........you need to shave off some of the tb bar,maybe knife the tb edges,remove some of the excess tb material to make the opening a little wider

It is easy to do, just time consuming.
Once you look at the TB you know what needs to be done.
I believe at some point in time there was a how-to, search the Duratec Performance forum.

I had one done. Didn't really notice any gains (1 HP somewhere in the band, IIRC), but throttle response was a tad bit improved.

I don't really think this is a problem for the Zetec's.
Probably should look at getting a chip first if you have an ATX. TB's, V-Cams, UD-pully and all that stuff are nice and add up. However, nothing beats adding a new chip, turbo, cold air intake mods, headers and using a higher grade of gas. If you want all that other stuff you might as well buy a better engine.
Maybe it's just me though?  What do I know, I'm not a car guy, more of a computer grandmaster.
