hmmmmm well if you want that little extra varuummm go for it

But you could leave it standard because it's gorgeous already and worth more not fiddled with?

Personally if I had one I'd just uprate the hose problems so nothing blows up and then just enjoy it...

Also JamSport do a 375 conversion

on second thought MT doesn't invalidate warranty so.... GO FOR IT hahaha

Well unless your patient and wait for warranty to expire and get more power elsewhere! ...say 400bhp conversion!?

JamSport may do a "375" but I doubt there's much warranty left once its done. Rather go for MT than JS

Do you ever drive it and think mm it's a bit slow.

I'd trust what the Ford engineers have designed it to do, not what some bloke and a laptop can cobble together to squeeze some more power out of it.

With stickers and remaps you're slowly ruining it imo.

Comment 1: on the driving going on a 17day holiday around Europe and driving down to Greece for 1 week... so to answer this... yup

Comment 2: I agree with Kevin... my dads forever telling me what goes wrong when messing with maps on cars... he does this for Landrover/Jaguar all day long there at Gaydon the research and development center. He does the maps then has to test them to distruction until they don't break...

I could pump my mk1 up to 270 with a chip, 300 with some hoses and badges and 350 with some stickers on it... like Craig said.

It might last about 1 month before ending up all over the M6, M42 and M5.

It's built like that for a reason... I wouldn't let Dave at PimpMyAuto mess with my engine map.

haha Dave at "PimpMyAuto" - LOL!

Yeah apparently they get the Mountune map on there so encrypted that it's nearly impossible to get it off! Good luck Mountune-to-supercharger router's!

Yeah leave it standard! and enjoy!

lol its not been cobbled together, if you think that then whats the rs500 with its mt kit at 350ps??? its been designed alongside ford engineers and mapping experts, i do sometimes think its slow bt maybe thats the grip issue on the front tyres not the actual power, and i mean c,mon its mountune!!! loadsa ppl on here love mt and the kits on there fez! maps included. and its ford approved unlike any other map or tuning company so it cant be that rubbish.
