MK7 Fiesta ST on it's way

Mountune announced a few more bits over the weekend for the Mk7 ST as well...
Sadly nothing to interest me. A MP230 kit would be good if the car can take it but I doubt it will happen. I am guessing anything like that will be an MR kit which will include their larger intercooler, sports cat and exhaust ... and more noise. I don't want more noise nor to lose my warranty so guess it won't happen for me !I may go for the larger intercooler but don't really think it is needed otherwise Mountune would have included it in the pack.
Mountune MP215 now fitted to my Fiesta ST - wow ! What a super bit of kit and all within the warranty. It is just the right amount of extra power for a map. Too much on a fwd and the wheels just spin up but this is great. 3rd, 4th and 5th have superb pull and the car is now very rapid for what it is !
I am not interested in rolling road figures for this but having come from a 330d which was remapped to 305bhp this is more useable more of the time and is bringing a big smile to my face.

I saw a Mounttune ST on the dyno at SRR - it made 209bhp from memory so just a touch down - I suppose a few more miles may bring the number up.
Glad your enjoying it - I will get round to getting one when I am done with the Golf R.

209 is low - I know of one that made 217 at SRR. I would imagine miles make a significant difference, It certainly feels hugely better ... and I am very used to having cars mapped so am pleased that a 'modest' guaranteed / warranty approved map actually feels this good !Glad your enjoying it - I will get round to getting one when I am done with the Golf R.

All sounds very good. I'm off to get ours in a couple of weeks. I'm going for the mountune airbox but the having the revo map put on it. Should be getting on toward 230bhp we hope.
Local revo man wants one to put a stage 3 kit on with over 300bhp. Tempted to offer ours for sts and giggles but I think that maybe unusable power.

I can't see any Fiesta ST getting near 300bhp without a big turbo and massive amounts of work and money spent !
I think Revo stage 1 is likely to be a bit more than Mountune but I am led to believe the main restriction on these is the size of the turbo.
Sorry, never said.....I think Revo stage 1 is likely to be a bit more than Mountune but I am led to believe the main restriction on these is the size of the turbo.
Stage three is an uprated turbo and a few other mods (injectors, intercooler etc) but on stock internals which worries me a bit. Fair enough they can hack a bit more power but another 50% on which they were based...... I'm not so sure.

Drove one yesterday as my Mrs is thinking of changing her 05 Fiesta ST. TBH I was expecting a bit more. Some brokers are claiming to supply an ST2 for under £15k anybody bought a new one around this money ?
Not seen one that cheap. People with Ford loyalty discount get them that cheap I believe. My ST2 was in the region of £17500 but with a trade in it is difficult to know exactly what is making up what !I'm new to this thread.
A few things:
I'm waiting to order an ST2 (Spirit Blue, RPS,CC) until DDS becomes standard spec.this is expected by end of the week.
What is your leadtimes? I'm being quoted July then 25 days to get from port of entry to the dealer so could be August. Seems much longer than other STs have taken for such a simple spec. e.g 6 wks. Is there a production limit on STs or is this a sales ploy to get the order in and then deliver early?
I plan to go down the Mountune route and have the MT215, IC, Charge pipe kit fitted after its done 1k mls. There are some other devs coming out soon. I am looking for a sports CAT for better breathing.
Anyone any experience of these mods fitted yet and worth the money, its soon adds up to 1.5k?

I have seen Drive the Deal are doing a price for a standard ST-2 for just under £15k, anyone used them before? Any good?
Ford dealer came no where near this price so far in at around the 17k mark even after some negotiations.
