Chip conversions

CVH and Zetec tuning, suspension and braking mods.

I have a standard Fiesta Turbo and am thinking of putting a 165 chip in it.
Can you do it DIY or do you have to put it on a rolling road?

Which stainless steel exhaust?

Chip I don't know,

for stainless steel,
I've got a scorpion, it's very loud, but a nice fit.

Magnex exhausts are VERY nice!! they give a nice rumble and a reasonable power gain! make sure u go for the 4" tailpipe though....u cant beat the sound of those!! i might be able to get u a cheap one if ur interested?? but not promising nething...let me know

I got a 4" Scorpio on my FRST, my last car was a FRST too i had a 3.5" scorpion on that..

I would recommend SCORPION, a mate of mine had a Magnex and he hated it cause it wasn't loud enough, i admit it gave slightly better performance i think, but if you get it chipped get a SCORPION, mate, take my advise i promise you will not be disappointed.

Oh, you can fit a chip by yourself, but to get the most and to save your engine from harm, get it rolling roaded...

you can fit the chip yourself if you want but you'll have to get the boost and fuelling set up otherwise you'll end up with with burnt valves or a melted piston!
