I already have the Fiesta running Mountune 185 but after selling my Escort Cossie at xmas and getting back in the Fiesta it feels sooooo slow.

Apart from the obvious cost and upgrading of the clutch are there any problems with Supercharging that people have found? Would it be worth negotiating the cost of having both done at the same time?

I want to flush through the old coolant but would this be a waste of time if it has to be done with the upgrade?

Im not 100% on this but I think you need to change the cams from the 185 kit as they are restrictive

It's lowered on Eibach springs and strut brace is on its way. Brakes I was thinking of doing later. Maybe the K-Sport setup.

an MT185 has been supercharged in the past, wouldn't think this be a problem, would be mapped accordingly.
