Very nice!

does this not make the ride really harsh..??

It's OK on 17's not sure I'd fancy it on 18's

Main thing is the wheel 'fizzes' with constant feedback, so expect tired hands the first few long runs till u get used to it.

Handling is literally night and day ... you'd never want to drive a non-poly car fast again after driving a full conversion - it's SO direct and accurate like you wouldn't believe.

IIRC the B14 is Bilstein B8's and springs all at the same time right ? you'll have pretty much the same set up as me if so.

*chant* polybush polybush!!

are you putting the IPD rear roll bar and Megan rear geometry kit on at the same time?

Shocks will make a shocking difference, Polybush is at least the same difference again in terms of the levels of dynamic grip and handling.

Well we are authorised Polybush distributors and I've spoken to them also, sometime over the next couple of week we will sort the kit out and that'll go on too!

Get the full Focus ST kit for yours it will fit - don't do just the Volvo ones

Thats a impressive gain. Would a 2008 185 d5 get the same gains with dpf removed.

Yes, as it's essentially the same as the 180PS engine, but the intercooler is something to watch as with any remapped D5.

[graemewelch]

So fitting a alloy intercooler is recomended befor mapping. If all gose to plan ill be heading your way in jan

Mind blowing amount of torque
