I am taking in what your saying, but please listen when i say they are not cheap, the average diy tuner will have to spend fortunes on jets and air correctors and all sorts of other carb black majic to get them running right, and even then they will only work well at full chat, the drivability and economy will be a severe comprimise. Plus on a modern car like a focus will need a cat and closed loop to be legal for the mot and on the road, and these days you cant take the risk of failing a roadside emmisions check, plus its a dialy driver, who wants a manual choke these days
