Euro ST180 FMIC on USDM?

[Carve]

I've found a company from the UK that makes ST180 parts such as FMIC, Hoses, etc. Their FMIC looks almost identical to the mountune and is only $140 USD (+$60 Shipping). Curious if it would fit the same on my 2017 Fiesta ST (US model)?

While it looks similar don't think this is the same as mountune, the opening looks too small

The listing states:

Please note fitting instructions are NOT included
Brand new
Supplied complete as shown
We recommend all intercoolers are fitted by a qualified mechanic to ensure the correct fitment

Fits:

Please note intercooler is a direct fit but you may have to modify the front plastic under tray or remove it from the car as the intercooler core is quite large.

While it might fit FiST's like they state it's not a mountune FMIC look at the top and bottom of the tank. mountune's intercooler is tube and fin style, the pictures you posted looks like bar and plate. Bar and plate doesn't let as much air through to the radiator and the intercooler blocks part of the radiator dues to the compact packagimg.

Yea I know it's not a mountune, as I stated it looks almost identical to mountunes not that it is by them. I just really want to know if it would fit the USDM model Fiesta ST (as far as I'm aware the only differences being the reinforced bumpers bars in the US vs the UK's projectors headlights and right hand drive?)

Bar and plate is IMO Superior it doesn't get heat soaked as fast......And is must more durable than tube and fin. ask those that have BAR AND PLATE. I'm sure they will chime in....

I have bought a few parts from pumaspeed for the ST180 Fiesta and I have absolutely no issues... +1 Pumaspeed, if the currency fluxuations you can time right. Sometimes a steal, other times might be a bit more vs. comparable parts stateside. DHL shipping btw. Uber quick!

That's where I bought the R-Sport CrossOver, Milltek decat + cbe, Silicone Exhaust Mount Set and few other items..

Ordered today, total was: US $226.02

I'll update with photos when it arrives

Well it arrived today, very good packaging (looks like it was dropped in the middle but very very minimal dent (doesn't affect performance in anyway) and as a bonus it only took 3 days to get here from the UK!





*Edit: Had to remove the middle, lower bumper "skin" or undertray middle connector piece

This is a debatable situation. While Bar and plate do not heat soak as fast once they do they take a lot lomger to cool down. I have owned both on other cars including a Skyline (RB25DET) powered 240sx . I still prefer a proper Tube and fin intercooler to bar and plate from shear design they are supior IMO.

It is very interesting that PumaSpeed now sells a stage 3 Tube and fin intercooler that they feel is superior to the older Garrett core they sell. Which they also recommend for any of their Turbo upgrades.

It's the best priced fmic I could find period, and Nevlock Performance has some outstanding reviews for all kinds of work they do, mostly high performance engine work.

dimensions are not provided so I just assumed it would fit (and it did just fine minus the small middle reinforcement I mentioned)
