if you go onto the mondeo forums and do a search they are turnning the boost up and turning the pump up to suit (they have diagrams to show you) and are taking them from 88bhp to 105-110bhp

Actually ones you've played with the pump they don't go that bad tbh, i can only imagine they'ed go quite well with a bigger intercooler and boost played with. Infact i'm sure i've seen a fiesta TD with a few mods putting out 150bhp? from ft.com.
