Hi Adam, i also installed the crossover and elbow from mountune. I think the install is straight forward but the lack of space makes it so difficult... I also installed a mountune fmic + boost pipes. You should get a fmic, gives power way more consistent. The ford ic is rubbish. Great vid, cheers
Changing the turbo elbow is a nightmare, I installed the AIRTEC turbo elbow which came with a gasket and new bolts, trying to install while juggling gaskets and bolts whilst holding the turbo elbow in such a tight space was a nightmare 😫 plus the nipple on the elbow is larger than the standard hose clamp 🙈never again 😅
I just made the same mistake as you, I did my research and found the after market crossovers hold heat, Fords plastic OEM item doesn't sound fell for Airtec's FAKE advertising "works with OEM crossover" Does it FOOK Absolute idiots strictly MOUNTUNE from her on in
Adam Rainey true that dude. Such a sweet kit!! The old girl hit 60k today. 060002 right now to be precise. Feel like breaking a bottle of champagne across her bow lol.
Car is looking amazing Adam👍 My car is booked in for the MR230 remap and I can’t wait to drive it. I went to purchase the crossover and noticed the MR265 is no longer listed. Emailed Mountune and they say it’s been discontinued due to the cost of it. They also said they’re taking this opportunity to work on a more further power upgrade😮 Hopefully a MR300😳
SAY WHAAAAAAT! MR300 would be the dream! The Americans have a better turbo upgrade that does over 300 horses on their weak fuel called MRX so maybe we will get a variant of that. One can only hope! This is very interesting and exciting news Jamie, thank you for sharing!
Awesome how-to video, Adam! I know I can go to Mountune to find the hp/torque gains, but possibly include them in the videos? Just a suggestion. Keep up the great work, man!
Cheers dude! Just from installing this piece, Mountune don't give HP/torque gain figures - they only do that for full kits that typically include a remap. The power increase from just this will be minimal, it is more of a supporting mod that will contribute to future power mods! If I do stuff in the future with a tested power gain I will mention it tho ;)
Fantastic video as always Adam, production is on point! I do envy all of the Mountune products, their quality is second to none. How long until the engine bay gets a paint job? ;)
Thanks Lewis :) Yea their stuff is good but I think there are plenty of big name brands that are just as good! Are you thinking of getting some custard action? :D I see you are into painting stuff over on insta so maybe I should jump on the ferry to England and get you to give it the Frosty makeover ;P
Not much more power, it is more of a supporting mod to be mapped in. Install took a while because I was filming it and also the removal and installation of the turbo elbow and that general area was quite fiddly so added to the install time
Good video, like the ammount of detail you put into it. But who does your tune? That is where you will get your real gains from. Custom tune only. None of those canned tunes.
Hey Adam, When you went for a drive was there a noticable difference with the crossover pipe? If there was, any chance you could do a short vid so we can hear the difference? Australia has strict laws about modifying cars so looling for a way to further enhance intake noise without having to put a pod filter on it. I too have the MP215 kit and may as well just keep the 215 lower airbox and KnN panel filter. Cheers.
I would say a small improvement in throttle response. I think this mod is an incremental improvement on the way to bigger power down the line. I will see what I can do for sound samples but there will be only so much you can achieve without doing too much modding
Adam Rainey all good. If the induction noise has minimum improvement then no need to waste your time getting a sound clip. I thought it may have added a notable difference.
Hi Adam, just revisiting this again as I plan to fit one of these tomorrow. Do you think it would be easierto jack up the car and do this from underneath or is from the top the best plan?
Cheers Craig, I would say a small improvement in throttle response. I think this mod is an incremental improvement on the way to bigger power down the line
Well I think so if you can afford it. Finance options always cost more in the long run but they provide convenience in different ways. Convenience at a cost ;)
Well done Adam excellent content and detailed vid as always your vids are always great mate 😎😎😎👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Cheers Alistair! :D

Yea i agree, if the space wasn't so tight it would have been a doddle. I am looking at intercoolers, just have to decide which to get...cheers :D

Does it FOOK
Absolute idiots strictly MOUNTUNE from her on in
Cool video man. Tinkering videos always gets my full attention! You may of out done me on the mods for the month however.
Cheers Daryl. I don't try to out do, I just do my own thing :) Your induction kit is sweet, we are all just car folk loving our beasts :D
Adam Rainey true that dude. Such a sweet kit!! The old girl hit 60k today. 060002 right now to be precise. Feel like breaking a bottle of champagne across her bow lol.
Ah nice one, plenty of life still in her. If u get champers I would say just drink it tho, glass scratches and a sticky mess would not be fun ;P

You will love the 230 man. I have Peron Stage 1+ on mine and its absolutely mega. Enjoy :-)

Awesome Video as always mate!
Cheers mate!
If you want a bit of more woosh noise I recommend going for the GFB DV+ it's a good performance upgrade for not much money
Fantastic video as always Adam, production is on point! I do envy all of the Mountune products, their quality is second to none. How long until the engine bay gets a paint job? ;)

Lewis your videos are good to dude.
Did it add anymore power? Start to finish how long was the install? Thank you

Im kind of new to modding cars etc by myself, just wondering what that red pipe is near your engine bay it looks mint! Cheers
Hello, it is the pipes for the mishimoto oil catch can 😊 cheers
Adam Rainey wow fast reply, cheers mate appreciate that your vids are great for ST owners keep em coming!

Been a long time since you did this, but do you remember if the elbow used the stock bolts, or whether Mountune supplied some?
👍
Nice video mate as normal! After your drive did you notice much difference?
Cheers Craig, I would say a small improvement in throttle response. I think this mod is an incremental improvement on the way to bigger power down the line
Does this make much difference in power and torque or anything??!! This is very expensive on its own if it doesn't make muvh difference
what is this title of joakim karud? Thanks
Will this fit USDM fiesta st or only euro models ?
I would say it might but If I was you, I would ask Mountune before buying
Is it possible to still get these?
It is indeed and they are in stock right now!
What’s the diameter of the cross over ?
Any hp gain?
at least 100 lol
@@AdamRainey lol no for real haha
@@BunnyBUNGALO there will be minimal gains without a map. Think of this mod as freeing up restriction for when you go stage 2 or stage 3
Hi, have you got your st on fiance, cheers
Hello, no I own the car outright, cheers!
Adam Rainey thank you man, is it the best way to go yeah? Thanks again
Well I think so if you can afford it. Finance options always cost more in the long run but they provide convenience in different ways. Convenience at a cost ;)
