Right, this isn't my review, it's simply the review of one of the guys from FiestaSTOC.com. Needless to say I can't wait to get mine done now!

Right here is my review.
This is my honest opinion, obviously yours may/will differ but in theory we will all have the same car at the end of it. However the conditions today didnt help so I will add to this review once I have driven it in the dry.

I had it done at mountune HQ in Hutton. I met Doug to give him the keys and for him to discuss in detail to tell me exactly what is going on etc. Very professional and very helpful. I had only one downfall on the day, that was the mats. The weather was also terrible but I couldnt really blame them for it....

So the car, starting it up didnt sound much different to before, I did start it up 3 times as others had said to do so, I will be doing this from now on thanks for the tip guys! Driving off it didn't sound much different really, I got to the end of the road to join back onto the main road and turned left. Started going through the gears fairly casually then in 3rd at around 2k rpm I thought lets give it a little bit of toe. WOW! The low down torque was awesome, that wasnt even with the foot to the floor, in those few seconds of acceleration the car had made a good impression on me already. The rest of the journey was mainly dual carriageway and motorway heading towards lakeside, on the slip road joining the m25 I thought I would give it the big'un. WOW! The car just pulls and pulls and pulls and pulls. This car is now faster than my previous focus st! It just pulls a lot harder for a lot longer than before the MP215. Having done a bit shopping I then headed home still in the downpours one again the car made big impressions on the slip roads, however I could feel not all the power was making it to the tarmac due to it being so wet. When I eventually had a bit of drier road, 2nd gear acceleration on a slip road was fabulous! When it got to 5k revs it seemed to have another surge of power a bit like vtec, this is probably not the case and more than likely the wheels were slipping a bit then suddenly gained traction, hence why I will add to the review when driven in the dry.

1st gear I always get out of as soon as possible anyway.
2nd,3rd and 4th gear are just awesome now, they were good before but the way it pulls is incredible!
5th and 6th are very impressive too, more shove in the back than before.

I really would recommend this kit to all of your mk7 owners, this car would eat the clio and 208 alive now and still I would have £1500 change

Some more interesting info for some of you, when speaking to Doug I was doing my best to try and get some info out of him. When asking him is there another package lined up this was the response "The MK7 ST is very easily tuneable and can be powered up very easily, however the slowest part of the process is Ford, getting them to approve it as warranty friendly is the hard part and does take considerable time" So by the sounds of it, they have the kit and are just awaiting Fords approval to be warranty friendly. Also when I asked him about whats in the kit and when will we be likely to hear about it. I got a response along the lines of keep an eye out at Ford Fair and that it is going to be mega apparently. So my advice to you would be if you want to go for the full hogg package save your money and get it all done at once, it doesn't sound far off!
