Umm, how much of a pain would it be to swap a Zetec into a SVT? Seriously...
I would mainly be concerned about the computer, wiring, PATS, accessories, etc... Doable Terry?

This just sounds too cool  . Nearly triple the output on stock engine components.

I'm guessing these numbers have come from a non-intercooled kit. Is that true? Are you going to try and test an intercooled setup? So whats the time frame for orders? Another month or so, maybe?
Oh, please excuse my ignorance but how is the boost pressure read? I mean, I've never seen it displayed like this. 1.2 > 1.5 Bar is 17.4> 21.75 PSI I understand 'Bar' and 'psi' but why the '>' symbol?

Okay, that makes since. Thanks. So I guess the 17psi figure would correlate to the 185 HP figure and the 21psi figure to the 200 HP figure. Right?
