I have seen an Escort Cosworth with a 500 intercooler and air-con..........took a bit of jiggery pokery and some time and effort but it fitted and all worked.

Power Engineering did it.

No idea mate - they took it on as a challenge as like most people say - it can't be done - so they wanted to prove that it could. Was a few years back now mind.
