Unlike the Focus ST, which shares the same brand of ECU in both the North American and European cars, the North American Fiesta ST ECUs are manufactured by a different vendor. At least that's the way I understand it.

This of course has the possibility of slowing down the R&D of ECU tuning on the North American cars. It may be a non-issue. But, I just wanted to share the info.

Maybe someone with more direct knowledge will be able to shed some insight.

Isn't Ford Racing going to offer ECU/intake/exhaust upgrades for the FiST that will add power without voiding the warranty??

+1 on that!

VW refused to honor the powertrain warranty on my 2011 GTI after it spun a bearing stating alternately, I had a tune (APR) and I competed in it (SCCA autocross). Then APR discovered the oil pressure drops below 10 psi under hard cornering loads...bazinga! But no joy. That's why I'm trading it for a FiST...
