It is 10 position adjustments,,comes standard set at position 5...I am running mine at 6 , and am happy with that,Supposed to give 118 kw and extra 50 nm of torque. ( It certainly feels like it !)
As regards the K & N Filter...purchased from the UK ( On Ebay)...about $ 130.00 from memory. Contrary to a comment I saw made by another member, I have no doubt that the K&N made a very noticeable difference ( in the seat of the pants ) On my last service, I changed back to the original filter ( just in case Ford spat the dummy) ...When I remembered to re-insert the K&N 2 weeks later, I instantly felt the increase in power and smoothness.Hope my comments might be of some help to you mate.
By the way, I have sent you ( per email) a link to assist you with running in your "rattler"....I have run-in my vehicle using the guidelines, and couldn't be happier !!!!!!!!

Thanks much, I'm also looking at changing the air intake/filter and intercooler, I was looking at the Code:RED intercooler and air intake but they haven't replied to my emails, with the air intake I'm thinking of changing the plastic tube and air filter, with an alloy pipe made up by a friend with the filter ending down somewhere near the grille opening for a cold air intake setup.
EDIT: Just read that email, very good link there, hard to avoid the long constant revs part though as I drive 100km of 100km/h freeway a day, might take her up the mountain and work it out a bit more
I've been shifting before 2000 RPM to the next gear, might have to work it out a bit more, keep it on boost
