Focus ST Throttle Response Fix

- Mountune says it best: The mountune Lower Intercooler Pipe Upgrade directly replaces the restrictive factory lower intercooler pipe, featuring a 39% increase in airflow. Easy to install, it is compatible with the mountune Ultra high-performance silicone boost hose kit or the original intercooler coupling hoses.
Now my personal words are that it does reduce the minor amount of turbo lag the car has and power seems to be delivered in a more effortless manner. Easy to install and high quality.

ST’s are the most underrated cars on the road. My 2013 ST3 is like getting into an amusement park ride every single time I drive her. 77K miles and she just runs great! I have had only two mishaps in 6 years. Fuel rail pump went and I swapped out the water pump because it was starting to go. That’s it. Sure I have done a handful of the usual modes but she is basically stock and that is exactly why I have not had many issues. Do modes like Gjeebs does and keep them Ford approved or high quality Mountune pieces. Gjeebs your car is done right!
So true its also so underrated on the quarter mile.
Baffles where there to quiet down the car induction noise was increased and flow but that flow isnt much without all the other pipes done as well and intercooler and an intake and exhaust all working together with a proper tune
love your channel everything you do helps me with my own st
Glad to hear it! Thanks for the support
I was looking at doing this. I bought my focus with some things that the previous owner did to it already, I 'll have to look under the car. If this part is not already installed , this is the next part I am putting on my ST. Thanks Ben.
Honest and quality content! Keep going, would love to see more mountune upgrades here and there.
Thank you! And yea I have a few more purchases in mind. Maybe some brake work and intercooler
Wow the Mountune quality is really nice
Did this same charge pipe when I did the levels performance intercooler. Great mod.
Thanks for the cool stuff as always Gjeebs
Funny I just added this hard pipe last week. I have the Ford Performance tune and full Mountune intake with AWE exhaust. I always felt that something was missing, like accelerating with one brake dragging. I installed the Mountune FMIC and complete hose and pipe along with the re-circ valve and all is right with the world! Keep up the great work Gjeebs!
I have the tune to and i feel the same way can you give me a full list of what you did and what the difference was
@@mackdiesel8292 Everything I did is listed in my previous reply. The FMIC seemed to really let the other components breathe like a complete system.
The charge pipes are about the last bolt-on I need to do and this video made it hard not to just buy the damn things, although I think I'm going with Mishimoto based on the ridiculous amount of R&D that went into their pipes. Thanks for the video Gjeebs, good to see you're still around my man.
Not stopping anytime soon!
I put it on, helped a bit but made more of a difference with the mountune intake
To give the Ford Engineers a little bit of credit, I think I know why those battles were there. When you drive a car with a turbo like this, it can be difficult to prevent the Turbo from being engaged when you don't want it to. If you can drive such that the turbo never spends up, you'll have a lot more fuel economy. The programmed behavior of the engine changes too when the turbo is engaged. Those baffles made it easier to drive economically.
After driving the car a little bit more I have come to the same conclusion.
@@Gjeebs welp you're both overthinking it. Ford added the baffles to keep noise levels down. Same reason they put a giant resonator and box muffler.
As for turbo spooling up quicker sorry man its a k03. Its instant spool at anytime even in 6th gear lol. It's just in your head but hey having a newer charge pipe is nice the oem ones rust quick
@@wendell52688 Wow Im prettt sure a free flowing catback exhuast going to increase fuel economy and trottle performance, Since the factory is so hudge.
That downshift at 7:22 - 7:24.. oohh... Lovely!
I get my mountune hot side pipe delivered today, kinda pumped. Then I gotta fix my rear end-link. That good ol’ Fix Or Repair Daily. Never ends lmao
2 men 1 pipe sounds like a good buzz
I was wondering what that baffler was for too. Figured it was just for sound. Got a Mishimoto Intercooler with charge pipes.
Oh shit you just uploaded this lol whats up dude keep up the good work
Fantastic content as usual Gjeebs! You’re one of the reasons I bought my 18 ST3 a few months back. In this video I see you had the car up on jackstands. I’d love to see some content on the correct placement of these things. It’s simple enough to jack the car up using the jack points described in the manual but what are the correct locations to place jackstands? I haven’t been able to find a consensus on this.
Oh yeah - congrats on your wedding as well!
Kevin Gingras you’ll notice that on your side skirts there’s arrows that tell you where to put jack stands. Look at the arrow then place jacks on the metal. Not the plastic.
@@luckyjuly67 Oh i know about those. I'm curious where the jack stands can go once you get the car up in the air.
Make sure to tighten those clamps it’s worth going through again to make sure cause I blew mine off the first time
Jackson McMaster yup! I blew my hot side twice 😂
Harbor Freight tools ftw! I have their engine hoists, stands, almost all power tools, torque wrenches, etc...never steered me wrong!
Ive wondered about these IC pipes...I'm only a FMIC away from being able to go 'stage 3' on my '16 ST... but have been curious about the need to upgrade these pipes also (I hear you need to or you'll keep blowing stock pipe couplers off..?)
I've got a 14 ST1. Have Borla cat back cobb cai cobb fmic with new charge pipes turbosmart blow off and a cobb access port. The install of the fmic was no joke. Bit it is some much quicker and the intake charge temp never get more than five degrees above ambient.
I have the Mountune IC, I need to get the charge pipes at some point.
Thanks for the info. 🔥👍
You got it!
In the description of each video you release, you should put a reminder parts list of all upgrades made to date. That would help those who don't necessarily follow along every episode.
Otherwise great videos, always clean and straight to the point!
I like that idea. And then have a link to each video beside the part.
Hey man, I've been watching your videos...good stuff. What are your thoughts on the AP V3 vs. the SCT BDX or the SCT X4? Ive got a 17 ST that I'd like to tune.
Go to stratified tuning with a Cobb accesse port. I but price but worth it
I swear baby "I had to do it", explaining why another box of parts showed up.
Are you running aftermerket FMIC with a tune as well? Cause if not I think this would be a bit pointless. It's not until you get into stage2 bolt ons where you need less restrictive charge piping.
Product looks well made though. Considering it myself maybe later in the summer.
Stock intercooler with Ford Performance Calibration. Better induction noise and reduces turbo lag in between gears
Yea the quality is great
Did you ever consider the Boomba bypass valve? It doesn't seem to be popular. It has 3 removable set screws so you can get the BOV noise without it being as loud as a full VTA. I have one and love it
I looked at it but I just felt Mountune made a higher quality part and I didn’t care about the sound. More the function
Gjeebs Hey I love me some turbo noises! Not sure what you’re referring to quality wise, billet is billet. Crafted here in Shitcago IL
Hey Gjeebs, quick question. I recently purchased my Focus ST in February and right after I bought it the car would randomly flash “engine fault service now” and “hill start assist not available.” When it did this the car would bog down and my boost gauge would go all over. Felt like a misfire, I turn the car off and back on again and it works just fine for a little bit and does it again. I recently got the purge valve recall fixed on it, same thing. I don’t have any social media, so this is really the only way I can get help. Any suggestions?
I have never heard of that but I would think the dealership could help you out or a trustworthy local shop. Also check out focusst.org
@gjeebs does this part void any warranty at all? I was thinking about getting one for my rs
No it doesn’t
Now just need to get the cold side pipe and fmic and couplers and you're good
Will this part fit on an aftermarket intercooler? specifically CPE
This fits between the turbo and intercooler. As long as your flex pipes fit the stock hard pipe they will fit the Mountune pipe.
This channel is turning into a perfect example of spending money in all the wrong places.
So you've had this car for couple of years now. Have you installed a oil catchcan yet? I know this GDI engines require sometimes to have one. Just wondering if your engine still running healthy.
Engine is running healthy. Coming up on 60k miles and no catch can no issues at all
@@Gjeebs that's awesome man. I'm running 93 shell v power on mine but still adding the can soon. I'm just glad you haven't had any issues without it.
Any reasons why you haven't added a blow off valve yet?
I have a recirc valve. Very high quality part but no sound which I find annoying on this car
Hey! Turn your Blinker off! Sounds like when I'm driving with my Dad and he forgets to turn is blinker off if it doesn't cancel by itself (5:20 - .6:15)
Nice shirt I’m front western PA
Nice!
$275....i think i feel something.....do you feel it now mr. Krabs??
Did you use the stock couplers?
Yes
Ouch
when u started driving your st u had your signal on for abit...lol
Still have the Stock Intercooler?
Yep
@@Gjeebs Time for that upgrade. You have that new shiney pipe installed, it's only right to match it with a shiney new Intercooler. FSWERKS makes a real nice one for a nice price.
Where is the part where you throw up into each other’s mouths? I was here for that.
Hahahahahahaha
The induction noise is because you took the baffles off...the baffles quiets the noise that's all.
I’ve noticed it also engages the turbo earlier. More impressive part than I initially thought
2 men one cup, I mean pipe ROTFLMAO
I have a car too
Yea you do. It’s blue
Evan's blue. Quite literally.
No, thanks to you for taking the car to Pep Boys. All that garage work and let a bum change the oil.
I dont trust any shop, not even the dealer who only changes the filter every other time.
Ever thought about getting a set of wheels? I own a 17 ST2 and I love the car but, god i hate the snowflakes
My 2017 ST came with some pretty sick stock rims. 5 spoke. I dont know what they are called, but hella glad they aren't the snow flakes.
Josh Harmon if they’re oem they are the premium wheels. I got them on my st and I love them. Black/machined aluminum right?
I absolutely love the snowflakes lol think
drzflyest4 i agree with the snowflakes, when I was looking for my ST all I wanted was the premium wheels. But I’m glad I went with the snowflakes. They just look better imo
@@RSKev yeah, I didn't know they were premium lol. I have the st1.
Dude do a fmic already. Lol
It’s coming haha
