I dont know if they have one here or not, but I do know that there was a how to on the ford contour forums. I dont know how it would be different being that this is a turbo car and that one is naturally aspirated. I wish I could give you more insight but im brand new to this car myself. I hope I helped you a bit in any case.

Its been a long time since I looked at the contour sight (obviously since I have a new car now) but they were using counter sunk screws or something in the butterfly plate in order to reduce resistance. They also smoothed the plate down so the overall plate would have less resistance. I need to take my tb apart and see what all can be done with it.
