Has anyone Mountune'd their Fiesta or Focus?
Discussion
I posted a thread in the ford forum but didn't get an responses so I thought I'd try here.
I've recently bought a '62 plate Focus Zetec S 182PS and have been thinking about a bit more power. Obviously I'm considering Mountune as they not only do warranty friendly upgrades but to my mind if they're warranty friendly then they're extensively tested. Although the MP200 kit is £1k they only advertise a 20HP increase from new software, a new intake and a new intercooler when I can also get an extra 20HP from a bluefin for 1/3 of that price.
Then someone said that Mountune purposely advertise their power gains very conservatively and I'm likely to a good bit more, possibly even double to 220HP but I can't find anyone that's ever done it.
Has anyone had a Mountune upgrade done, to any car and then managed a Dyno run and exceeded the quoted gain? I don't fancy £1k when £300 will do the job.
Thanks.

I haven't seen anyone quote more than 200bhp from the 1.6 Ecoboost. The same engine is available in a number of Volvo's and Polestar do a map for it, but again 200bhp is the limit.
Given that the car is out of warranty, i'd save your money and go with the Bluefin option.
200 seems to be the limit on the stock airbox and intercooler, yes. I might just go for Bluefin, if I do it at all. Given that the car is out of warranty, i'd save your money and go with the Bluefin option.

Guys ... you are aware the car produces 200 on overboost so I don't see how people are saying none of the tuners are stating over 200 bhp from a map when it has this power as standard 
My car is a Focus Zetec S which, while having the 1.6 Litre Ecoboost engine, it isn't exactly the same as the one in the Fiesta ST. It doesn't have the overboost function.Podie said:
So if I get that will the K&N Air filter fit? Will I see any benefit without doing anything else?Thanks Podie. I did get your email, interesting reading. Will have a think about the airbox but I doubt I'll go for the symposer.
