Fiesta ST MP215 or REVO map?

You are unlikely to even notice the difference and will lose your warranty.

Crap way to waste 300quid.

Have fast ford from late last year. They had devil developments also claiming 218 bhp.

BUT this had airtec intake, better intercooler, sports cat and exhaust, plus super chips remap.

More inclined to believe their more realistic sounding figure. They suggested the standard turbo size is so small that it would limit to 220 bhp or so as well.

Very hard to compare all these options, all using different dynos and therefore no direct comparison. Arguably any safe remap alone will yield similar results IMO.

Although devil developments also had a nice sounding 260 lb/ft torque figure with all those parts!

So far as I know, the engine has a compression ratio of 10:1. I would have thought that at 220bhp that's kinda adventurous to begin with?

Sounds like the OP has made their mind up anyway.

It does seem odd to waste money for what is likely no noticeable gain.

The old adage about a fool and their money likely applies here.

I had the MP215 on my ST2 but have sold the car. I found the MP215 was perfect. I find it hard to believe you are going to get much more by changing to Revo. The only car I saw on the ST forum that was Revo'd produced I believe 208bhp so somewhat short of their 220bhp. The MP215 on the same dyno apparently produced 210bhp. Go onto the Fiesta ST owners club forum - it is worth it for views. There is another tuner - Finsport - favoured by people on their though I have not used him.

Decided against it now.

Ford owners club also point out that there isn't much difference.

Cheers for the input.

For what little gain its really not worth losing the manufacturers warranty. I'd wait till its out then go for bigger gains

Yes, but I am willing to risk that chance. I very much doubt something engine related will go wrong. I will be changing car in 2 years or less (took the car over 2 years), so it won't ever be out of warrenty. I'd just like to maximise gains with what I have.

Anyone on here had experience with both maps?

It will be out of warrenty as soon as you get the Revo map, surely?

I very vaguely remember either top gear or 5th gear comparing a mountune Focus with supposedly more powerful map from another tuner in another focus side by side.

In a straight line the mountune focus won.
