Default zetec turbo build.what throttle body??

building a 2.0 zetec turbo with a blacktop engine.
i have a rover turbo inlet manifold to go on it,but dont know what throttle body to use.
whats my options here guys??
can i use the one from my s2 esc rs mfi inlet?
or do i need a efi one?rover one?
using omex 600 if it makes a difference
and do i need to modify the rover inlet end to accept the particular throttle body?
searched through loads and loads of zetec builds on here but nobody seems to mention what throttle body they use.
thanks in advance

if its a early turbo inlet it will be steel, the later ones came with plastic, fine to use with the right injectors, you will need to mod to get a ford tb to fit, but easy job.

i'd fit an efi TB, mfi ones only have closed/half open/fully open signal from TPS sensor, not very useful for efi.

Focus Rs complete inlets can be had for cheap money if you look about.

Std blacktop inlets are the same as the frs apart from a spacer under the tb and a metal elbow on top.
cossie injectors fit straight in too
