Definitely need these and full suspension i.e. Bilstein B12's were great! I had 328bhp with Cossie spec cams and a big bore milltek exhaust! If you want to keep you Mountune cams you'll be good for 260bhp but Ben who had his 185 SC'd he had to have them out for more power! Being SC'd is awesome. I wish I still had my fez as a second car!

If i'm only going for around 250bhp (at the moment) then there is no need to go up to the 2.5 kit? Perhaps upgrade the SC belt once I have more work done on the engine.
Mine ran 10psi to 12psi I think? They only really fit 2.5 kits so they will talk you into the benefits of one of them! If I won the lottery I would actually buy back my old car and rebuild it as they are good fun lol
No as long as you're not silly and drop down to 2nd when you wanna overtake you'll be fine! Stay in 5th when supercharged! You don't even need to change down lol. If anything you need a 6th gear!
personally i'd wait until Jam sport bring out their refined Turbo package for the fiesta, in my opinion it could well be better then the traditional supercharger.
surprised that there isn't an option for using the VCT on the 2.3 engine or at least being able to do so with an aftermarket controller... would certainly make some more N/a Power
