Actually, I could see a move in the near future.
Did you guys see the Eco Boost article for a possible Mustang coming up:

If Ford takes a look over at Jag and comes up with a package just like theirs, I would be more than happy to sport the first of three new awesomes!
1.) AWD
2.) Electric
3.) Twin Turbine Hybrid Technology

I dont want to see a full replacement though, give us options!

It really is, too bad Ford doesnt own them anymore!
Jaguar bought into a company that supplies these turbines (Bladon Jets) so they are serious about it.
That article I posted was posted because it had the best pics, their info is a little off though. Jaguar has every intention of making the C-X75 a reality, even if it isnt as sweet as the original concept.
I am sure that they will come back to the Dual Turbine, quad motor concept down the road.

Not sure if anyone else has figured this out yet....
The short rubber intake on a Stock 96-98 Windstar Van just happens to fit a 90mm LMAF perfectly.
The 99+ looks to fit as well but has a nice little unribbed section just before the TB to promote smoother flow.
I was playing with my parts :} when I saw the two sitting next to each other and they looked like a good fit.
So I gave it a poke and sure enough the LMAF fits in it perfectly!

Here are some pics of what it looks like.
The small end is 70mm ID.
The reason why I think this is neat is because it gives us more options for CHEAP coupler alternatives.
Being that it has a PCV port and IAT port this means you can just get a really cheap run of 70mm Tubing and a 90 degree elbow for a cheap Windstar swap CAI.
*Edit: I had Centrifugal or Turbo aps in mind about this since it is using a 90mm MAF for 42lb injectors.
I guess this would also be ok for NA builds by just swapping the MAF sensor, no need to buy an expensive larger MAF housing when these things are all over the place for $50 bux shipped.
