The brand new Fiesta ST180 X49RS hybrid turbo was rumoured at the start of spring 2024. Pumaspeed produced 10 units and sent them to some distributors around the world for evaluation. After several months of testing we are happy to announce that the sale of the new X49RS is now ready to roll.

I know PS isn't popular around here, but it is a new product. Now discuss

all the iterations of these hybrids are like Apple iphone upgrades - not much different but just enough to sell more
you're still limited by airflow and durability of the tiny KP39 housings and CHRA

I know they’ve got a bad reputation, but I’ve been very happy with my X47 classic. If I was to do it all again I would go S280, but the value of these is crazy.

I paid around £800 for the X47 classic and the updated map, which took me from 224 to 326 HP.

If you don’t mind the horrid hybrid whistle then I think this is a great option.

My X47 Classic has been incredible for many years as well. Absolutely love it. With stock fueling on e30 it’s absolutely perfect.

gee whiz, lol. my 37 beaks the tires loose in first and second already. hits a hundred fast enough which is a felony in minnesota.

Something interesting from the description is that they claim the turbo is making more power at 20psi than my X47 makes at 26psi.
