I've got a few parts left over from my sale that you could likely make great use of... FocusSport Cold Air Intake and a SCT X-Calibrator2 ECU tuner.
If it was my choice, as nice as the SVT was for the time, I'd stick with yours. The Duratec has to be one of the best 4-cyls I've ever driven and you have a 2005 sedan, which means you can use all the first-gen (2000-04) Focus suspension offerings, including the SVT brake upgrade if you choose!
It's a nice ride. You could even do a Cosworth build on it (semi-similar to the recent FocusSport build sans turbo) and put down real nice numbers.
