I'm in Mandurah atm, had some issues with the wheel alignment and have to take it in to the ford dealer. I could do it myself if my workshop wasn't 2500km away... LOL
Anyhoo...

Old man told me he has to be in sydney mid week, so I've had to motor... (posted from a motel in Ceduna)
Here's a bit of the retarded monologue from the Narcissist Service desk jockey (who happened to be of Indian appearance) who happened to be staying at the same hotel as me:
Was hilarious and scary all at once...
-Don't wreck your car by putting that supercharger on it.
-Fords are shit, my VZ 6L was better. It was supercharged.
-Your car is crap.
-Your car is heaps good.
-I know more about cars than you (said at least 10 times)
-No one can afford fuel prices no more, so no-one gets fast cars anymore. You must have too much money.
-I could have been a race car driver, I can drive better than you.
-I know what it's like to be at the top, have the fastest car. I had a supercharged 6L VZ, it would blow your cars doors off.
-I took traction control off one day, and I slid the VZ out and wrecked it.
-Your Ford is shit. Best thing you can do when you get home is sell it. I should know, I was a mechanic. I know more about cars than you, so you should listen.
I told him to leave. And he thought he was in his room and said for me to not forget my things. :/
How to deal with nutters???? LMFAO!!!

Received some more of the kit in the mail yesterday. I'm still in need of a header tank and heat exchanger for the intercooler, the belt for the alternator and a few gaskets and seals, but I'm getting a fair bit closer to installation time!
Fancy fuel rails...

Alternator relocation bracket, twin throttle body, 52lb injectors and SCT flash tuner....

Finally managed to clear a spot in the workshop. IT BEGINS!

Manifold off...

Turns out the PCV line was broken going into the manifold and had been for some time and as a result there was grunge all around the area.
Test fitting...
