Stage 1 chip is your best and cheapest with a rolling road tune you wil be able to run around 12psi i wouldn't up the boost on a standard frst it's not worth it

It you go for the 195 you will need fuel pump and injectors. When fitting the chip it is very easy you will need to take the ecu out the open it up to clean all the white grease off where the chip is pluged into. I use brake cleaner on a clean cloth onnce it's all clean refit ecu the plug the chip in never play with the chip when the car is on or and dash light's on as this will fcuk the ecu up

Open the pass/door and get down in the footwell and look up behind the dash you will see the ecu you would see a chip in the bottom of the ecu if it has one if not look on ebay or on www.fiestaturbo.com you are looking about £60-100 second hand new there about £200+
