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

plenty of people running alot more power on the 4x4 throttlebody than your after mate

dont really think its a worth while mod my self

and the small turbo escorts use a different loom so might be differences in that side of things aswell
