any one had one of these for the focus rs heard they are around 430 pounds primary desighns are 1000 big money.Mountune are a good co so the manifolds should be a good bit of kit cheers guys

 

is the primary designs one not ceramic coated aswell not saying it would cost that much to coat it it but just wondering where the price difference is lol

 

Ceramic coating is extra on the PD 1 (about Ł255 from memory)

 

theres a lot of money between them about 6 hundred quid so ill go for the mounttune

 

I thought the Mountune ones are the same as the Ford Motorsport one which I have, although I sourced mine from Germany. I'm more than happy with mine, only difference is that it's mild and not stainless, for the money though can't complain, has given me good power results, infact the same that people get with the PD. Would probably only use it with standard turbo though.

 

sounds good to me the cars got a blue fin de cat and ss exh so the manifold will be the final eng mod was it easy to fin cheers

 

Easy to fit? No, pain in the arse, proper fiddly and if you're unlucky the turbo bolts will be properly welded to the old manifold!

Wasn't too bad in all fairness, makes a nice difference though.

 

cheers ill make some phone calls mine gos well now it must fly with the manifold do you think another 15 to 20 bhp

 

Should get 15BHP, alot extra torque and faster spool up time are the biggest improvement.

 

isnt there a new mountune item in the pipeline

 

so you're not having an M3 or an evo then?

 

no ill keep it till the new focus rs comes out in 2008 id lose to much money on an evo mine will still be worth good money in 2 years

 

new focus RS? if you're lucky i suppose

good option though

 

Just got this

Dear Kevin

Apologies for the delay in replying to you.

I can confirm that we are in the process of looking at the RS manifold - we did have a manifold available that worked but we were not very happy with. We have now sold our stock of those manifolds so are taking the opportunity to improve the design etc.

I will let you know as soon as I have more information available.

Best regards
