I would not recommend PWR products.
Speak to Paul @ Zen or Simon Norris for a reason why!
Other than they are oversized inefficient pieces of crap.

You could mould off the inside of the original windows in glass fibre, bond these in and then cut vents in..

Your project is coming along quicker than my mine James, I am still currrently recuperating after a hosptital op last month.
Out of interest is your engine/box due to sit level, or is there any slight inclination needed to the front or rear?

Very Impressive
I would love to attempt something like this, but I just don't have the attention span for it
I have a question though. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that, but why are you putting all the work into something as fugly as the Mk6 Escort

This is an interesting project.
Your intercooler questions put me in mind of the factory chargecoolers fitted to the early legacy's. All you need to do is fit an extra cooling rad up front.
When looking for some pictures of one, I stunbled across this site dedicated to putting a Subaru lump into a V-Dub. Some useful stuff for you in there.

When used in hard in hot weather my car does tend to struggle to cool the water back down again, and consequently gets a bit breathless. I'm not to sure how efficient the core itself is, but Prodrive used them in the group A Legacy, and they managed to get 'reasonable' amounts of boost throught them.
