Default Re: What have you done to your fiesta lately

Has anyone used these guys for performance mods for their Fiesta ST:

http://activemotorwerke.com.au/

I emailed them and the owner got back to me regarding the Stage 1 which costs $969. This is the website where the mod comes from:

http://www.revotechnik.com/product-d...ta/97/stage-1/

Thoughts?

I stayed away form revo because they cost more than their competitors and don't provide a tuning handset to load/unload the tune at your discression.

Happy with my bluefin...

Thanks for the replies. I was looking at the Bluefin early in the year but I held off as it was fairly new. So having had it now for awhile would you recommend it? Is their tech support any good and the gains worth it?

Also been considering this:

http://www.mountuneusa.com/mountune-...364-215-aa.htm

Again not sure if it's supported here in Australia (I'm in Melbourne Victoria).

Any USA spec tunes do not work in Australia they use a different engine managemnt setup, only look at euro based setups they will work here

I'm happy with it, but be warned to run anything more than stage one you'll need to purchase the GGR intake.

Same for any of the generic tunes, if you want any more than a basic (but fat) torque increase, you need a CAI.

Early and mid range torque curve is much fatter, ignoring the numbers it makes it much nicer to drive on the street and less need for downchanging.

You'll probably want better tyres soon after as the torque increase definitely hits the limits of the factory tread.

No if you want to run Bluefin stage 2 you MUST use the Graham Goodes Racing CAI, bluefin and GGR have done a deal and setup specifically for that intake.
