Talking Pumaspeed Stage 1 Fiesta ST180 EcoBoost Remap 210-225 bhp

I have a 2013 Ford Fiesta ST (Australia)
I have just installed the Pumaspeed Stage 1 Fiesta ST180 EcoBoost Remap 210-225 bhp
The only extra modification I have done are Pumaspeed R-Sport Stage 3 Garrett Intercooler for Fiesta ST180 and K&N 33-2955 Air Filter.

From the time I ordered the Intercooler and OBD Tuning Interface cable it only took 7 days from UK to Sydney Australia.

Tony and Andrew from Pumaspeed answered all emails within 24 hours this is great considering they are 10 hours behind us.

Installation of the Intercooler took about 2.5 hours only special tools you will need is a 3/8 socket swivel and a 6mm titanium tiped drill to drill two new holes in the high strengh steel front bumper. NOTE: Use a 3 mm pilot drill and use slowest speed on drill otherwise you will burn it out.
There is a great guide for intercooler install on mountune,s webpage.
The Intercooler is a tight fit take your time to position it also the horizontal black plastic above the Intercooler will need to be removed and 15mm removed from the back edge you can do this with a jigsaw or brake it of in peices with a pair of pliers.

Installation of Stage 1 tune
Download MaxD software from Pumaspeed webpage.
Tony should have emailed you the tune so save this on your Windows based laptop somewhere safe.
Make sure laptop has at least 1 hour charge
Open car and switch off EVERYTHING.
Plug in OBD dongle and plug into USB port on Computer
Switch on compter and start MaxD software.
The computer should install the OBD dongle in about 2 minutes
Once you have done this just follow the on screen prompts I did it first time in 3 minutes.

Hows it Go
What a difference in the car
Idel is smoother
Heaps of torque from 1800 rpm
Car just pulls like crazy
Fuel economy is better as I can use 5th and 6th gears earlier
Put it this way its a excellent tune and fully worth every cent I have driven the Mountune MP 215 I feel that the Pumaspeed Stage 1 tune is a lot more refined and as for power and torque and driveability I am hard to please but Andrew and Tony and team have come up with a real winner here.

It put a huge smile on my face even my partner who knows nothing about cars said Its smoother and when I took it to work it pulled so much better did you get a fresh tank off fuel or something. I didn't tell her id been playing with our baby.
