hi everyone im asking this on behalf of my brother who all being well will be purchasing his second fiesta rs turbo next week, now the last one he had was quite a while ago and was chipped by castle performance with one of there 175 chips/full stainless and k&n and was a cracking little fast road car.

the one he is looking at buying is totally standard bar a stainless system its still even on oe air filter.

so first thing will be to get a k&n on there and then looking into getting the car chipped iv been doing a bit of research and think the 195 conversion that msd do would be perfect and obviously a step up from his last one and will still be very responsive using the t2 turbo.

my questions are is it essential to upgrade the intercooler when going for the 195 conversion? would a cam change yield some extra grunt up top where the turbo drops off?

also it will want lowering im sure he went for the apex -30mm kit on his last one and it sat nice is this still a decent kit for them or is there something better out there (apart from coilovers)
