Increase power to 185 bhp
Thanks to a new association with Mountune, a motorsport specialist run by Roush UK, the Ford Fiesta ST can now be boosted to 185 bhp. The kits do not affect the vehicle warranty and are available from selected Ford dealers (London, Bristol, Birmingham, Warrington and Castleford) from March 1 2008 onwards.
There are two packages available, Mountune Performance Stage 1 package retails at GBP 1,435 and consists of a high-flow air induction system, high performance exhaust system including high flow catalyst and tubular manifold and re-calibration of the 2.0 liter Duratec ST engine resulting in a power increase to 165 bhp. The Mountune Performance Stage 2 package costs GBP 1,838 and adds new camshafts and valve springs to delvier 185 bhp.
The Ford Fiesta ST was the first Ford to carry the Sports Technologies badge and made its debut at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show. Later in 2008 Mountune will offer additional kits for other Ford ST models.

Ford is offering Fiesta ST customers in the UK a unique opportunity to buy performance upgrades for their cars through a choice of two special dealer-fit options.
The Mountune Performance Stage 1 package will retail at £1,435 (plus fitting) and consists of a high-flow air induction system, a high performance exhaust system including high flow catalyst and tubular manifold, and re-calibration of Ford’s potent 2.0-litre Duratec ST engine to produce 165PS.
The more powerful Mountune Performance Stage 2 package will cost £1,838 (plus fitting) and adds new camshafts and valve springs to the basic package to deliver 185PS.
Developed by Ford Team RS in a new association with Roush Technologies Ltd, which owns the Mountune Racing motorsport brand, these packages will only be available at specialist Ford dealers. The upgrades have a minimum of 12 months/12,000 miles dealer warranty up to a maximum of three years/36,000miles.
The upgrade kits do not affect the vehicle warranty and will be available from the selected Ford Dealers from March 1st 2008.
Stage 2 performance enables eating competitors, especially the Polo GTi and Citroen C2 VTS (both ~150hp). And that is good. The mark IV Golf GTi would also easily become a victim. :D
Performance upgrades are also available for the Focus II ST and the now available face lift ST. Power goes up a little to 260hp, if I remember that right. The good thing: available for the last, non-facelifted Focus ST as well.
