Almost as useless as the V8 Focus conversions if you ask me. Other than "can it be done?" value, I don't really see the point. A whole lot more weight up front, and way more power than the chassis can make use of.
Car would be much faster if they'd put that money into a Zetec.
That intercooler is way too small BTW. Mine is more than twice that size, for half the power. There's nothing wrong with having the turbo right next to the A/W intercooler, if you build the system right. Throw some reflective heat shielding on the side, make sure your heat exchanger is big enough, and it won't matter if the sun is right next to it.
However, I expect none of that was considered in this build.
