mk2 focus rs mountune conversion opions please ?

[Phil1958]

planning on having the mp350 kit fitted to my car in may/june , just wondered how well the car copes with the extra power in the dry(not interested in the wet)do you get to keep the original fuel pump and intercooler? as i am pressuming (hoping)that they have some value as a used spares, mine won't have done more than 2k.
I saw in last years fast ford a standard rs dyno'd at 299 bhp and the mountune car made 360 bhp any one had thiers on the rollers?

I can't give you detailed impressions but when my mountuned ST was in for a service the sales chap took me out in their Mountune RS, i didn't drive it myself, but from the passenger seat it felt a lot quicker than my ST, it sounded lovely and didn't appear to torque steer or have much trouble putting its power down. The sales chap was driving it alot harder than i would and it coped fine.
In fact if i had the money i'd swap without question.

A few members on the Focusrsoc.com club have reported a hesitation at 3k with the Mountune conversion but sorted now with a new map.

You keep your old parts & people recommend the kit highly apart from the price, which obviously keeps your warranty.

I haven't gone for it as i would rather wait until my 3 years are up & go for an alternative for a third of the price.

BHP varies massively between rollers & the cars power from standard, some Mountune cars are only putting out 330 BHP but some 360BHP as you have found.

Also, bear in mind insurance, a lot of members have had incredible hassle getting covered or have had to pay almost double the premium!
