I've just been privileged to purchase an ait manifold and turbo from a Ford Australia Forums. but there is a crowd in Albury/Wodonga called Snort Performance. they do single and twin turbo set ups for 4l up to AU. I'm unsure now if they do crossflow set ups. they advertise sometimes on ebay.
4.1 turbo had 530Nm and 190Kw straight out of the ford dealer which was very good by 1983 standards. Even these days they can tame an XR6turbo
and leave VL turbos for dead.
FEW PICS OF MY MACHINE xe esp turbo 4.1 and copy of 83 motor magazine
which did a road test on this car in 83
I used to own that white one on the cover of that mag , i'm trying to hunt it down at the moment (p.s , sorry for dragging up an oooold thread :blush: )
ford also ran several protypes of xf with turbo. twin and all wheel drive on the xf ghia model there was a write up in a car magazine, but cannot remember the nane of mag have been looking for it myself for the specs.

All these cars had a factory compliance plate by Ford and u could get parts for ure XE ESP turbo form ure local Ford dealer. And they all came with a service manual for ure AIT turbo kit so u could service and maintain ure car
these are pics of the original Ford brochures Ford used to market the ESP TURBO wen a customer rolled in lookin at a 6cyl efi XE ESP the sales man would show him these brochures
