Can be done, think something needs to be changed when fitting it though but im not sure =/ maybe just pipework but i have seen it done a few times before.

sure, why not? There were several threads the last few weeks. There was a KE-Jet XR3i with cat which had a throttle body with tps or you mod the inlet to use the RST throttle (there was an adaptor plate available @ Ford) OR you use a RSi inlet, the Turbo throttle body bolts straight on

It will fit better than EFI. Both, XR3i and RSTurbo were MFI (he said that he wanted to use the XR3i MFI inlet) engines, so he just needs a throttle body with the correct tps and some new pipework...
