Puppet, Flo and others are the fuel management / tuning gurus. I'll get that out right away. 91/94 is purportedly just as good an increase as the Zetec, but I can't make that call... yet. Hoping to get a X-cal 2 this spring.
:hi:
Intake - any Zetec intake will fit with a rubber reducer. The intake must be meant for the stock Zetec throttle body. The reducer can be found at any local hardware store. Measure the inside diameter of the intake when you get it, then measure the inside diameter of the SPI TB. Done deal.
The K+N cone filter that fits the SPI MAF is RE-0930 or anything else with a 3" inside diameter.
Throttle body - in short supply, normally easiest obtained from http://www.escortfocus.com. Same for their exhaust components. Moving to the 60mm BDR throttle body eliminates the need for the rubber reducer with a Zetec-geared intake. The BDR TB is nice, Oscar has one on his car.
Exhaust - MBRP's exhaust for the SPI/Zetec is the same for all models, just slightly longer/shorter where it matters. It sounds great on the SPI... I just so happen to have a clip of it up, pre-nice intake.

Underdrive pulley - the SPI is a different beast than the Zetec as far as underdrive pulleys go. The Zetec can use 1-3 pulleys, the SPI needs but one. Once again, http://www.escortfocus.com has the goods, in 25% and 50% underdrive configurations.
CAVEAT EMPTOR - ef.com had some typos on their site, saying the focus needed a crazy-short belt for 2001-up with air. The final belt configuration I ended up with recently was a 66.5" belt... 2001 SPI with air. I'm not sure if I'm on the early or the late end of the stick as they shifted configurations for the accessories between 2001-2002 at some point. Take a few belts with you between 65-67" in size and return what you don't need.
The SPI gains some nice punch without sacrificing hardly any fuel economy. You've got a nice car there, and you can make it even better. :)
