‘Done forget to replace the headlight’ cheers mate.

[@ohmygoditsyomamma]

I like the idea of the modified airbox instead of a pod filter. Pod filters give you dirty oil while the airbox still gives a cold charge with the protection of the cover

[@trendkill777]

the filter he uses is an oil type cotton filter , the same as most pods on the market. You don't have an issue if you don't re oil the filter excessively.

[@stu101]

Trouble is though K&N filters let through so much more dust and particles into your engine

[@LR180]

Great video! Love it! Cant wait to get my hands in my ST!!

[@sheeplesniper4035]

I'm doing this tomorrow morning..... thanks for a useful vid!

[@OzzyMandias]

Thanks, I'm just about to fit an ST200 airbox in my ST3, this is a big help - Nice one mat...

[@AdamRainey]

Cheers Lee, you will get the same benefits as the mountune box. Enjoy!

[@j6xxg]

Thanks for doing this, used this guide doing mine today, hardest part is that bottom screw on the headlight, absolutely destroyed it on mine but fortunately had quite a few spares from my st225 haha

[@AdamRainey]

Cheers Jimbo, I also have a bag of them - they are quite annoying!

[@K_95Games]

1:34 you can take that rubber bit off mate, it unscrews and gives you more room to play with if you didn't have a long tool! 👍

[@Eddstar83]

Hi mate great video, really informative and thorough. It seems to me the most expensive bit of the mTune 215 upgrade kit is the actual mTune handset itself. I was wondering if you could use someone else’s handset to retune or is that not possible? I understand that you can buy the induction kit separately so doing this would make it a whole lot cheaper. 👍🏻

[@stevemahoney5209]

Just found your channel Adam & really enjoying your vids as I own a White '17 ST3 with 23k 😃 I know you own the Mk3 RS now so I'll check out those videos later. I've just fitted a Yuasa Silver High Performance battery to my ST and couldn't help but notice that you've got a different holding brace across your battery 👍👍 The Ford plate fitted is hiding my status light on the battery !! Where did you buy it from Adam & where from (eBay) ?? Many thanks again 😃

[@teggsy2165]

Any major effect on your insurance with the full mountune induction kit with no remap and how would you rate the sound over the stock box? Also i wasn't sure if ford would be happy to remap the kit DIY fit if not installed by themselves or an authorised dealer,can see you both are loving the car had my 2015 ST 2 since last May but would like some more noise feedback but without going full boy racer im too old for that image now:) But not too old to enjoy a fast fun drive in an amazing little car,wife even smiles sometimes she's never driven in her life though i told her when we got the car its just a faster bumpier Fiesta and was similar to the 2011 Kuga we traded in but she struggles a bit with the swap,not sure why:)) Good Job she loves me!

[@stevengardy1987]

Can u post up links for the upgrades u review/install thanks grate vid! #subscribed 👍

[@santiagobalea5936]

Hi, as Adam says, i think ST200 does not come LSD. But comes certainly with a different very interesting gearing. I can not put all things that come ST200, as gearing, because it's so expensive, only upgrade mp215 by Mountune and rare sway bar by Eibach for handling better. Repit, sorry for my poor english, i hope you understand me.

[@AdamRainey]

You could get the Mountune quick shift to get a shorter throw which wouldn't cost you too much

[@DSKallday87]

Good Video! You already helped me with that front splitter! Did you try the airbox without hose? Is it louder or sounds even better? Do we really need it because of that space of colder air under the front light? For the st200 airbox you can buy the hose seperatly...

[@AdamRainey]

Cheers Timo! I never tried that but could well work just as good and indeed may introduce a little more noise. For increased noise you can remove the sound deadening from the under the bonnet...

[@DSKallday87]

@@AdamRainey not sure, If german police likes a removed sound deadening! But a removed/missing hose is hard to see and i don't know if you really need to use it when you can buy it seperatly

[@basmolijn]

Great video! But I was wondering... is it safe from water down there? Last time I checked after a rainy drive there was some water around the fog light

[@AdamRainey]

Hi Bas, there would never be enough water for it to be fully submerged as to have it sucking fully on water and even then the sucking force would not be strong enough to draw water all the way up vertically into the airbox. Think of it a bit like a bong - in the unlikely event of it being fully submerged in water, the water would simply act as an additional filter :)

[@teggsy2165]

Good installation guide and video,have you had a mountune yet and what do you think of the kit so far?and i see you already had the black mountune silicone hose fitted was it bought before the install?

[@AdamRainey]

Hi Terry, I don't have the remap - The 215 remap doesn't give a load of benefit beyond removing the overboost feature so I am waiting and plan on getting either the 230 or upcoming 265 upgrade (of course they require more hardware upgrades). So far the I like it - over stock the combination of the parts adds up to a few horses, the most important parts being the high flow air filter and probably the silicone hose for less restrictive air flow. The air box helps in this respect with the secondary feed, pulling cold air from where it is positioned so keeps air temps cooler. I initially had the mountune hose and K&N high flow air filter installed with the stock air box which was a good option when on a budget

[@FalconXE302]

I would have to disagree... seen as I have recently had the MP215 fitted to my 2 year old ST here in Australia, the MP215 is a great update... easy to feel the responsiveness through all gears, especially second and third. Not sure what you mean by remove overboost... overboost is def still there after 20 seconds of full throttle. Its actually quite noticeable now seen as the car has so much more top end grunt... when the so seconds of overboost is over, and boost drops, you can easily feel it now. A stock ST was always virtually impossible to tell when the 20 seconds of overboost was up. The MP215 upgrade makes what was already a great street car into a car that is always egging you on the kick it in the pants... Go get the MP215 engine remap and then come back and let me know what you think... you won't be disappointed.... :-) Nice vid on the air box change... thanks for taking the time to do it so thoroughly. Cheers

[@matthewwebb1045]

Very helpful thanks very much 👍👍

[@AdamRainey]

You're very welcome!

[@thehemsley_]

Hey Adam, is the box just held in with the one screw mount at the top from as I need to remove mine due to one of the screws holding the top of the box down has rounded out. Thanks 🤙

[@AdamRainey]

Yea man, that screw thing at the front, then the box is just sitting on rubber grommets

[@hod01]

Nice video, much appreciated and quite comprehensive. I'm thinking of upgrading the intake on my 2016 but wanted a closed box design that wasn't too loud - so how are you finding the Mountune in practice?

[@AdamRainey]

It is spot on - high flow, cold air intake, no heat soak and not weirdly loud - it works well

[@owenoj]

Is it louder than the stock box and a lot more noticeable?

[@carllatham1558]

Unity101 I have the st200 airbox which is fords version of the mountune design. I paid £132 for a new one from Ford with a new maf too.

[@ellgamemcmanus9774]

Nice video, do you know if this induction kit is good for stage 2

[@AdamRainey]

Cheers, yes indeed it is good for stage 2 up to at least 265hp

[@teggsy2165]

I finally got hold of a used Mountune induction kit(airbox and hose,plus a red silicone hose too,fitted it yesterday poured down all day so not had a proper run yet with it fitted i'm not planning on the MP215 map as Adam the OP'er has said i too am not convinced it's worth the money as i want to go stage 2 i think but i have another 17 months warranty on my 2015 ST2 which is also why ive used Mountune kit stage1 only to keep my warranty and not have to remove parts for warranty and services at my dealer. @vicntez's find of the ST200 airbox, how can Ford copy Mountune's idea,at least it shows what Ford think of Mountune's induction kit to clone it on the top of the range ST200,the ST200 box and hose sure do look the same as any other fiesta ecoboost ST fit.

[@NsKvLyNX]

[@Guyarm11]

Just ask your dealer if you can keep your warranty I have 2 years left of my warranty and I've got a 1.0T black edition with mountune MR165 power upgrade kit, mountune short shift arm, mountune roll restrictor and a milltek non resonated cat back exhaust and my ford dealership where I got my car have let me keep my warranty even though all that would void your warranty but if you don't ask you don't get there quick to take your money off you.

[@lewisdrysdale9052]

Hi Adam, I have the Mountune MP215 and a turbosmart BOV, but don’t have anywhere near as big of a induction noise when revving, any idea what creates the bigger whoosh noise

[@lukebray5581]

A new induction kit creates the whoooshh noise

[@williamclements3904]

For anyone that did this or even for you Adam, Did it make any difference in sound or more important power?

[@AdamRainey]

Small improvement to both but really to take full advantage you need a stage 1 tune

[@williamclements3904]

@@AdamRainey Thank you for the update. Putting in a better IC and than plan to get a custom tune.

[@vicntez]

Just bought an ST200 and it looks like Ford have fitted a similar air box to the Mountune box but in plastic, the air box has the cold air feed at the bottom just like the Mountune box, the only thing I found was they had just used a paper air filter element, I have replaced this with a K&N panel filter. So you could fit the ST200 box and a performance filter on to the ST for probably less money than the Mountune box.

[@AdamRainey]

Hello, you are indeed correct, I think the Ford plastic version is about half the cost of the Mountune box but the Mountune box is probably easier to find to purchase

[@vicntez]

Absolutely, I can get them from my regular supplier too but I would say a lot of people wouldn't think of searching around and would just think of going straight to mountune or their local Ford dealer who sell mountune gear

[@ukvamp]

I'm gonna try install mine in a week or so, know this is an old vid now but does anyone know if i can position the feed by going underneath the car and reaching up? really can't be bothered to remove the headlight!

[@AdamRainey]

You probably could yea - get under the car before you start and see!

[@western-oud1898]

Adam I had my st3 mountuned the other day and when I informed my insurance I'm getting silly quotes after having the 215 upgrade... do you know if this should be right or do you think it shouldn't be much difference ftom what I was originally paying?? because when I asked ford before I had it done they said my insurance wouldn't go up by much but it has...cheers

[@AdamRainey]

It might depend on your insurer. Do some comparisons, see if you can specify MP215 as the model of the car instead of ST180 and see if that helps. It isn't something I have looked into much but some insurers are more funny about mods than others. Other factors can make them twitchy like age and even where you live. So yea just shop around, maybe even look at insurers who specialise in modified car insurance

[@western-oud1898]

Adam Rainey....I've just been put onto AdamFlux insurance....apparently they insure remapped cars on good deals so I'll be ringing them...cheers mate

[@sportbilly9815]

How did you get on with the insurance?

[@sebastiendavies7765]

I don’t know if insurance is still an issue for some of you but I’m currently with Admiral and I explained the modification to them and I only had to pay a one off admin fee of £19, I was shocked at how cheap this was seeing as I’m a 21 year old with a modified ST :)

[@harryinnes7452]

Anyone done this and did you declare it? I’m 18 got an ST-2 and not sure if these will even do me over

[@dillonpudge9002]

Always declare all mods to your insurance. Call your insurance company before buying any mod and ask for a quote on how much it would add to the policy.

[@P44TKO]

Where did u get that screwdriver ! Its perfect I want one

[@AdamRainey]

B&Q!

[@tj88825]

curious question, when you removed the stock air box i noticed there's a circular hole at the bottom (around 3:20). is that hole there stock right out of the factory or did you drill that?

[@AdamRainey]

that is 100% stock, I hadn't touched it before removing it

[@tj88825]

judging from the size i reckon it's a drain hole? Also, i've read that the Mountune/ST200 air box may not have any effect on performance without a map to go with it, but it sounds meaner nonetheless..could you share your two cents? i'm thinking of getting one.

[@AdamRainey]

The combination of high flow filter and high flow intake hose should mean slightly increased flow which the ecu automatically adjusts for without a remap. The actual airbox then adds the benefit of the secondary cold air feed

[@tj88825]

Great stuff..thanks!

[@santiagobalea5936]

Hi Adam, my english is poor, sorry... Congratulations for your explain. I have Ford Fiesta ST since April of this year and I´m thinking to put upgrade mp 215 by Mountune. Do you think is better than ST200 stock in race, for example?? What´s your opinion?? Thank you

[@AdamRainey]

Hello, the ST200 would be almost identical to an Mp215 in terms of performance, both have 200ps with 215ps on overboost and the ST200 has a plastic version of the mountune airbox

[@santiagobalea5936]

Ok. Thank you!

[@BlatentlyFakeName]

The ST200 also comes with a LSD, which would make the handling a bit better. You can install one on any ST for around £700 though. Something else you have to consider is the existing Mountune upgrades (and most other tunes) are NOT compatible with the ST200 as it has different gearing. So if your planning to tune it in future you will have more options on a normal ST.

[@AdamRainey]

I am pretty sure the ST200 does not come with a LSD, the M-Sport edition does but that's a different car

[@vicntez]

No LSD on my ST200, Ford have just altered the gearing slightly to quicken acceleration and Mountune do the MR230 upgrade for the ST200 so modding is not a problem.

[@nikoobjedovic3524]

Hey there! A car newbie here! So I got a Ford Fiesta 2010 which has all the ST goodies but only as far as the interior and exterior design goes, and the engine is a stock 1.6l 90hp diesel. So I was wondering what would be the things I could and should upgrade for a faster ride ? Also I really dislike the sound that the 90hp engine does and 90hp is kinda low so I was planning on getting it re-mapped to 135hp and getting a better exhaust, which will hopefully make the sound atleast a tad bit better, what do you think ? I don't have the budget to just buy a whole 200hp ST motor, so one thing at a time, in a good order would be appreciated! Love watching your videos, big thumbs up :D

[@AdamRainey]

Hi Niko, thanks for watching. The basics would be intake, exhaust and remap. If all these 3 things are available to you then that will give you a power and sound boost :)
