A cable throttle might be the way to go. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89191-au-throttle-body-onto-ba-turbo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of features in the BA ecu are based around throttle position (fueling etc), if you took that control away by using a cable TB nothing would work...If you wanted to use a cable TB, you would have to run a full aftermarket ECU.I don't know about sizing and bolt pattern.

It is alot of work to setup property tune wise but it is possible. Throttle position is derived from the tps so as long as the correct tps is installed and feeding back to the pcm the actual method of actuating the throttle body doesn't matter. (once the tune is currently setup) Going to a cable throttle would only be viable in race applications that require it, because as stated above you will loose idle control and all throttle based engine control parameters.
