if it's adding to the mid range grunt, where you use/need it, such as motorway driving from 50 - 80 Mph, then all well and good. As would be the smoother running/quieter engine..
I've watched a few clips on you-tube, and it would appear that turbo diesel cars take to the bluefin tuning better, such as 40BHP gains from a passat...
£235 is a lot to spend if its not that noticable, and best spent elsewhere.
At the mo, I've got a K&N panel filter & a set of Magnecor HT Leads fitted,
so looking to do a few more little bits & pieces.
it's where to 'invbest' the cash lol
Yeah exactly mate. Ive had a 1.6, a 1.8 and a 2.0 focus and all of them are the same in the sense that they seem to only be quick above about 3.5/4k. below that theres nothing, they seem so flat
i personally think for the money, there are better things you can buy for the money. like zetec-sam said the best things to put your money towards are a full system inc decat and manifold and a set of cams. zetecs like a nice cam kit
newman cams seem to be very good value for money
ive got a bora tdi 130 and i got that remapped, yeah it was 400 quid but it took it from 130bhp up to 172 bhp and more torque than the old focus st.
hope this helps
