I received my Mountune M235 chip yesterday and tuned the car. This is exactly what I was missing, so much better! Lower revs were too slow, this is a massive difference. It’s almost identical to how quick my Fiesta was. Now need to make a decision if I buy the Milltek already with Black Friday sales.

That's good to hear.. Question assume you have included the Mountune induction kit as part of the M235 installation?
Also I believe the Mountune hi-flow throttle body helps with the ST's initial pick up..Did you fit one?
Would be great to know once you've had the chance to fully test the upgrade on how it has affected handling and also engine noise.

Yes, I have the induction kit as well. I already installed it when I received my Puma, since I had it on my Fiesta. I haven’t fitted the throttle elbow yet since the original one is stuck. I can’t get it loose. Sound-wise I personally don’t notice any difference, as I also didn’t in my Fiesta. Power-wise there’s such a difference. 100-200km/h is 5-7 seconds faster now. It’s almost identical to my M260 Fiesta, which is insane.

I have the elbow on right now as well, made it work this morning. Still not sure if it makes any difference performance or sound-wise.

From what I've read, it (the elbow) helps on initial accelerator pick up. Nothing more.. but then every little helps.
Just waiting on Mountunes 12 days of Xmas discount.
