Full details
This Forge Motorsport Induction Kit is designed for Ford Fiesta MK7 1.0 Ecoboost Turbo owners looking to improve engine performance and sound. It replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a larger cone filter and optimized pipework, leading to faster cold air supply and enhanced torque.

FAQs
Will this kit fit my Ford Fiesta MK7?
This specific kit (FMINDK5) is designed for the Ford Fiesta MK7 with the 1.0 Ecoboost Turbo engine. Please verify your vehicle's engine and model year for compatibility.
Do I need to remap my ECU after installing this kit?
While not strictly mandatory, an ECU remap is highly recommended to maximize the performance gains from this induction kit. It allows the engine to fully utilize the increased airflow.
How often should I clean the air filter?
The cleaning frequency depends on driving conditions. It is generally recommended to inspect the filter every 10,000-15,000 miles and clean it when it appears dirty or the airflow seems restricted.
Can this kit cause my engine to overheat?
No, this kit is designed to prevent heat soak by strategically positioning the filter or directing airflow from cooler areas, thus promoting consistent performance.
What kind of performance gains can I expect?
Actual gains will vary depending on the specific vehicle, its current condition, and whether it is combined with other modifications like ECU tuning. Forge has demonstrated peak power gains in their testing.
Is professional installation required?
While some users may be able to install it themselves, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended to ensure correct fitment and optimal performance.
What is the difference between this kit and one with a pleated filter?
The main difference lies in the filter media. This kit uses a cone filter designed for maximum airflow, while a pleated filter version may offer a different balance between filtration and airflow.
Troubleshooting
Engine Malfunction Indicator (Check Engine Light) illuminates
Ensure all connections are secure and that the air filter is properly seated. Re-check for any vacuum leaks around the new pipework. If the issue persists, consult a professional mechanic.
Reduced performance or hesitation
Verify that the air filter is not clogged or dirty. Check all intake pipe connections for leaks. Ensure the intake system is correctly installed and has not shifted.
Unusual noises from the intake system
Inspect all clamps and connections to ensure they are tight. A loose connection can cause whistling or fluttering noises. Check that no components are vibrating against the chassis.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This Forge Induction Kit (FMINDK5) is specifically designed for the Ford Fiesta MK7 with the 1.0 Ecoboost Turbo engine. Always confirm fitment for your specific vehicle model and year.
Setup: Installation typically involves removing the factory airbox and filter assembly and replacing it with the new Forge components, including the cone filter and custom pipework. Due to the nature of engine bay modifications, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended to ensure proper fitment and performance.
Care: The primary maintenance task is cleaning and inspecting the cone air filter. Periodically check the filter for dirt and debris. If cleaning is required, use a dedicated filter cleaning kit suitable for cotton gauze filters. Ensure the filter is completely dry before reinstallation. Inspect all pipework and connections for security and leaks.
