Smile Converting L8 Throttle to EECIV ST ESCOS

Hi , Does any one know what is involved if you fit a small turbo escort cosworth plenum and throttlebody to a 4x4 L8 engine. I have the EECIV plenum cover and would like to know if I need the EECIV throttle to make the improved power capability of 480BHP. I have the MSD anti-lag (can't get working) and launch control using the L8 4x4 equipment. I know the standard 4x4 throttle fits onto the EECIV plenum but this is a smaller throttle body. I would still want to use the anti-lag and launch control feature so I'm not sure about the idle speed compensation valve on the EECIV and how to make it work on L8, also I don't think the EECIV has idle speed adjustment neither. Anyone done this mod or is it not worth it?

Cheers
