Default 1st chipped Focus ST at Power Engineering

Superchips have now released their chip for the new Focus ST, we done done the first one yesterday, a few details,

The conversion is an actual ECU re-program as oposed to a chip change and we have to remove the ECU from the vehicle to bench program it. The ECU is programmed on a special jig via the processors BDM interface, there are no physical chip changes and no soldering involved.
The figures we were seeing on the dyno were 251bhp & 265lbs/ft of torque, we do however feel that these figures were slightly low as we were not achieveing maximum boost pressure (1 bar) on the dyno due to heat related issues (cue the uprated intercoolers)
Upon driving the chipped car we found that the main differences were from about 3000rpm onwards where you really feel the car start to generate more boost & torque. This extra power is felt all the way through the remainder of the rev range.
The cost to carry out this conversion is £435 + vat, £511.13 including, the price also covers a power test afterwards with power & torque graphs.

thanks.
