Excellent video!  Helps to ease the nerves a bit....however I was slightly disappointed that I didn't hear Yakety Sax playing.

Does this video and install method apply pretty directly to the 2013+ MKS?  I know they are the same in broad terms, but there are some little differences, like placement of the hood latch, etc.  Just want to make sure big stuff like the A/C condenser is the same.  I really wouldn't want to get into the process just to find out that the MKS is juuuust different enough that you have to pull that out.

No idea.  I would look up Taurus recalibration and try that.  Will not hurt anything.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Huh?  Recalibration of what? Sorry I don't understand what you're talking about, lol.

I recalibrated my SHO, unfortunately with a MKS/Flex hybrid calibration in which 4 of the adapter plates were slightly off center, but with a bamboo punch I was able to reconfigure the main and positive straight wires with just enough room to establish a neutral resonance. This did not cause any distruption in the Gearhead intercooler interface even after adding .37% more volts via the more pliable conduit. Hope this helps...
