Good video. I like how you let us see when you struggle with some stuff and not just edit it out.

[@G5MAV]

I do try and give a true reflection on the installs I’m doing.

[@HolyPastie]

Thanks for the videos, it's great to see actually how to install all of the parts for the Fiesta ST. I look forward to the next video.

[@hotrodda]

Good video mate thanks for taking time to record and edit it all for us lot to learn, nice one 👍🏻

[@SmDWeed]

Nice car, I like the color! I have a Mk7.5 also about to add on the stage 1 airtec intercooler. The procedure is quite the same. Good to see how you tackled it without editing stuff out.

[@shartak5020]

Nice vid mate, very educational as always. As for power, I'd say 240HP, if not properly remap with actual mod ON the car when tuned, they give barely any power. Cheers

[@oscarwilliams2316]

Thank you for this video, saved me a lot of time. You’re amazing.

[@Chappers.Gaming]

im sure you can buy them on ebay them clips, but im loving the car Vids man, at Least its nothing like other channels when they have all this BS, im a young lad look at me im messing about with cars and things, your vids are like "this is what i want to do / planned to do" you show it off talk about it and fit it, job done :) non of this messing about just side tracking to long it out.. i could watch a vid of your content for hrs if needed , good vid :) EDIT: I wonder if you can get a new Lower Grill? that would show the airtec logo really well :)

[@G5MAV]

Cheers for your comments mate. I know what you mean about the guys editing there videos to make things look easy. Oh and I hate the way some of them bodge up things so badly.

[@mannysingh6618]

Oh, nice video as always, keep it up.

[@SamFullick]

Another good video mate, nice one.

[@Kenny.1979]

This stage 1 Airtec is a right pain to fit on the MK7 ST. Looks a bit better designed on this.

[@1975heavymetal]

very good presentation, I'm between this and the third stage. but I'll probably buy like your first stage, they sit very well

[@Kwarkiemodo]

Higher stage is only needed on the track or if you are going to use a bigger turbo. Otherwise, Stage 2 or 3 will give you less performance . Same as a cold air intake that actually takes in heat from the engine bay instead of getting real cold air. It will give you less performance .

[@Chema7657]

I love the Fiesta ST

[@davidl6339]

Are you a mechanic? Greetings from Denmark, luv your vids!!

[@gandalf3290]

Great video...keep going

[@xegro]

Bit of advice, try to equalise your background music volume and your narrative volume. I felt like I had to constantly turn you up while you were talking, then turn the music down once you'd finished talking.

[@G5MAV]

Cheers for the advice. I’m no pro and still learning. I will take that on board when I’m editing my next video.

[@garyofchafford9319]

Another great and helpful video, and I am guessing the power at 247

[@velezito4998]

Great video man👌🏻😊

[@georgeturner9300]

Really helpful video

[@gavinhallett9736]

Did you ever do a video mate on how you get the car up off the ground using those homemade ramps?

[@philhill7973]

240 bhp on the dyno with all the bits 👍

[@G5MAV]

Yer I’m thinking around the 240 mark! I’ll be booking it in this week so I’ll so find out.

[@Pedro-ku1wt]

Any careful tips on how to remove the bumper? You made it look so easy at 8:28. I'm afraid to break the clips when removing or putting the bumper back on :/

[@chrismullin1]

Loving the videos. What about a hybrid turbo at some stage?

[@G5MAV]

You never know, it may happen!!

[@mannysingh6618]

Thought these things were not about power, more about keeping air temps cooler for extended hard driving?

[@G5MAV]

Yer the Intercooler does keep the air cooler, colder the air the bigger the bang!!

[@Steve-fn8hs]

Just had one fitted to my MK8 ST (stage 1). You can defiantly feel something different once fitted. (the airtec website says between 8-12 BHP with stage 1).

[@gandalf3290]

Are you planning to change any bulb to led technology?

[@G5MAV]

Hey, I have already got led front fogs and I have the led driving lights for factory. I might do the reverse lights at some point.

[@fen1xpro]

is it same method for fiesta st-line?

[@G5MAV]

I believe the ST-line bumper is the same but the Intercooler will be a bit different but the method of fitting should be the same.

[@jamielearmonth1039]

Any reason you didn't go for a full size front mount ?

[@dragbag1616]

A bigger intercooler has 4 disadvantages here: A) In this case without a bigger turbo it's pretty much overkill (waste of money), B) it "steals" cooling from the radiator by blocking it (your engine may run warmer, not ideal for lubrication), C) More turbo lag, due to there being more volume of air between the turbo and the engine, D) It weighs more, and is detrimental to weight balance since it is all the way at the front on an already front heavy car.

[@diocristo34]

Any turbolag?
