Fiesta turbo throttle body would be fine mat and pretty cheap or go for a cfm 76mm one there a few hundred quid for a zetec and have a plate welded on to match throttle body holes. I used a fiesta rs 1800 inlet and a fiesta turbo throttle body as I used ofab management and it allowed for manual adjustment of the throttle plate so I binned the idle speed control valve.

PassionFord Post Whore!!
VR6 is a good shout, you need an early pre 1995 body as the post 95 had a stepper motor for idle control.
VR6 TBs are 75mm IIRC.
Should be able to pick one up cheaper than this tbh...

Mat I used a s2 inlet with s1 throttle body and fitted a jenvey /Colvern throttle position sensor from emerald. Blanked the aux air device outlet off so no idle valve ..set the cold /warm up idle in the ecu .might need to adjust the flap stop to give enough air on tickover.
