Individual throttle body (ITB) setup would be the best n/a setup for the Zetec.
yes with a carb you can dleete the ECU, but unlessyou know what you are doing, this is a bad idea.
Besides ITB will net the most gains.

Besides I'm in no hurry to get done with the car.

Ok, so how do I go about accomplishing this. I literally have two TBs for my car already(one new one on the car, and the old one in a box.) What kind of intake manifold could I pick up for this kind of setup? I would need two more TBs right? And then three split-off cables to run to the other throttle-bodies. I'm kinda likin' this idea sleeper! Tell me more.
Edit:
I just thought of something. Let's say I somehow get an intake manifold that allows me to run my two TBs horizontally. I would need an intake plenum(possibly just an insulated box with in inlet the corresponding diameter to the stock accordian tubing) to retain throttle response right? Well from there on couldn't I just use the stock intake tubing? I've already made my own custom short ram-style intake out of the original stuff. Other than needing that intake manifold and the extra cable, this sounds like it'd be a pretty easy way to gain performance...
Wait, what about the IAC valve? nuts... how would I replicate the effect? Could I just bolt it to the new intake plenum? I actually have two of those too...
Also, would the stock ECU be able to compensate for the changes or would I need to upgrade a bit? Same question for fuel injectors...

Quick Q here...
I'm starting buildup of my Zetec in the spring. MOney is a factor. I was going to SC it off the bat,but the kit is almost $3k. I could build the motor NA off the bat and still make it pretty quick,and then later on bolt on the SC after I've made sure the motor is running well and sorted out all the gremlins.
What would you do? Build it NA to make sure it works,then go SC later when I can have more $$$ or go all out and go SC right away?
