    For some reason Hamish wasnt able to get a torque reading on this occasion but there is more than enough to keep spining up the fronts it was 420 NM last time so I expect its quite a bit more, next step bigger injectors and FMIC and more mapping to suit so will hopefully get a torque reading then

    Right massive thanks to Hamish at HLM with a custom tune following the HLM FMIC and induction kit & RS ECU box I now have 299.6 BHP and 470 NM. She now really flies.

    Thank you

    That is mental, so do you think you would give the RS a run for its money now?

    Yes I am sure it will out gun an RS on the straights as most have a shade under 300 BHP and 295LB FT I have almost 350 LBFT, weight wise I have around 100 KG more than an ST but only 60KG approx more than an RS. The RS would leave me on the twisty s though.

    I'm happy to have it uploaded if Hamish wants to as I won't have time this week.

    What's the sketch with the RS electronics box?

    For reference mine does 50-70 in 3 flat, 30-70 5.4 (2/3rd) 6.4 3rd only

    1/4 at 99.5 @ 14.77

    Also your MAF and/or FPS (fuel pressure sensor) may be tired mine felt a lot stronger after replacing them.

    One of the symptoms of my tired FPS was lazy then sharp response to part throttle.

    Get the Forge BOV and you'll hold more boost in the midrange.

    Fancy a head to head 1/4 mile at York ??

    What's the RS ECU box ?

    Focus RS runs the 1/4 at 14.2 @ 110mph.... quite a tall order to beat.

    You got a 3" DP and Sports cat on it? That will really improve your top end breathing if you don't.

    Oh and what have you done to the handling so far ?? That's the best bit once you get it proper sorted!!

    Yes has a 3 inch jetex exhaust the rs ecu box I think was
    required due to the itg intake system I think. Handling
    wise it's completely standard as it is used and abused lots
    of speed bumps and used as a builders van from
    time to time. I have speant a bit on the front end but it is all stock at the moment. It will be interesting to see what terminal it gets I think it will easily
    do low 14s not sure how easily it will do 110 but u never know.

    Where were the lost 25hp found then? Sounds like a cracking result there.
