Can I ask why would you bother?
Ofab chip will have everything turned down to run safe and will still need a proper set up too make the most of it
So with a fully mappable ecu available for £38.99 more in my view it makes a ofab chip pointless
In real terms it will also cost £100 more too set up as it's £250 to mapp it instead of £150 for the ofab rolling road tune
Meaning it's only £139.99 more to have a fully mapped set up over a "set up safe" set up with no real control and limited on what you can do with it?
And too make it better stu at msd is interested in selling and mapping ofam?
I've already considered OFAM mate.
I'd be looking at the £389 for the ECU then £500 for a live map at MSD.
If I keep my OFAB and get my existing custom map adjusted to suit the new spec I get a discount on the mapping as I've already had a custom map before.
I had bad luck with my last engine, only seeing 3k miles before it shat itself.
I've spent a lot on the new engine to ensure 'hopefully' that its reliable.
Keeping OFAB is mainly to keep the costs down and get some use out of the car next year. OFAM would mean it would be off the road longer and I'd prob end up selling the fucking thing!
Power wise I was more than happy with the old spec so the new spec will be plenty. Any more in a wee fiesta is overkill imo.
