The Mountune Racing MR290 package for the Ford Focus ST is based on the core components of the market-leading MP260 upgrade kit with the addition of several key hardware components. 

The MP260 kit consists of; a larger tailored high-performance alloy intercooler (updated for 2011), a high flow air filter and this is joined by a large-bore downpipe with anti-loosen bolts, 200-cell sports catalyst, cat-back exhaust, cast inlet plenum and a revised engine calibration to further enhance the overall performance of the combined hardware.

Once upgraded power increases to 290PS at 5500rpm and torque is raised to 440Nm at 2,750 to 4,500rpm.  

The upgrade will produce performance returns of 0-60mph in 5.6 seconds, a 0.9 second improvement over the standard ST, and 0-100mph in 12.5 seconds, 3.5 seconds faster than the standard model. 

As with all Mountune upgrades the MR290 has been subjected to a vigorous test and development program to ensure optimum drivability, reliability and driver enjoyment.

This upgrade can be fitted to any model year of Focus ST, new or used and can be upgraded from MP260, with or without any of the required additional hardware already fitted to the vehicle to allow for easy modular upgrading. 

All parts supplied within the kit benefit from a 12 months/12,000-mile warranty against manufacturing defects. As a Mountune Racing upgrade this kit does not benefit from the same warranty arrangement as Mountune Performance products and may invalidate your base vehicle warranty. 

Please note: As part of the calibration update process the original vehicle ECU will need to be returned to Mountune.

MR290 FAQ

Q. How do I get an insurance quote on the MR290, will it be recognised by the ABI like previous Mountune kits?
A. MR kits aren't generally recognised by the ABI in the same way as MP kits are. Declaring your car as an MP260 plus MR290 parts should result in a more competitive quote. We also have a deal in place with Greenlight.

Q. I've already modified my Focus ST - I'd really like the Mountune kit though, is this still possible?
A. Yes, and the parts supplied by Mountune are still covered by the standard 12-month, 12,000 mile warranty. However alternative hardware supplied on the vehicle may result in differing power outputs, performance and drivability as the MR290 has been calibrated for the specific hardware shown. MR290 will not be supplied if a non-Mountune inlet or airbox is fitted to the vehicle, due to the sensitivity of the calibration to this selection of hardware.

Q. Is it possible to purchase parts of the MR290 kit on there own?
A. Yes, the 3" downpipe, 200-cell sports cat, cat-back and inlet plenum are available through the online store and also through all PRO dealers.
