Yep picks up better low down and irons out the flat spot @ 2-2500 that they all seem to have.

So would I considering they're less than £300

They are designed for a bog standard car and the results i've seen on a mk5 z-s gives around 10bhp and 10-15lbft

BUT the driveability is greatly improved and the smoothness of delivery

Great cars to run round in

The Bluefin is a decent bit of kit for the money IMO

Not worth it at all. I used to have a ZS and drilled that air box. My friend paid out for the Bluefin and it works out with it is 2bhp difference.

You'd be better off drilling IMO!!!!

With the right spec cams ground from blanks and a remap that will easily see over 140bhp

Standard inlet etc is good for 150bhp

You just need to make sure the valve clearances are set correctly

Shawspeeds SS2 cams are ideal

Rob, you wanna PM me the info??

Regarding other comments above, is the Bluefin going to be OK with the fact that the car has other mods?

I know a few people with ST TDCi Mondeo's

Some have lots of other mods like Filter, pipe and bigger coolers and the Bluefin works fine with it.....May not be the same on the Fiesta but im sure Rob will put you right

AFAIK the map is for a standard car but i'm sure the dealer will sort you out appropriately
