Default FRS Tuning & Bluefin/Dreamscience Discuss

Who's the best for tuning the Focus RS, mine has had trouble starting lately & for piece of mind would just like it checked over. The car has been chipped but unsure what is on it, Bluefin or Dreamscience.

Which is better as i've heard a few problem with one of them & can't remember which one

I've got nothing to compare my car to as it had the Bluefin on when I bought it from Kelv. I've hear nothing but good things about the maps from Demon Performance Centre. Apparently changes the complete drive of the car

One of the things I am looking at next year mate This is their website http://www.demonperformancecentre.co...x.php/homepage

Apparently Pete knows his way round an FRS very well. He's in the North West as well

TBH all of the above tend to still start the car perfectly (they have no reason to be messing with the cold start maps in the first place), so I doubt that the problems you are having are anything to do with the map on it.
More likely to need a set of plugs or similar TBH

Carlo its Dreamscience thats you had on the FRS!! Paul the Bluefin isnt the greatest suposedly from reviews on the RSOC they have rereleased it recently and seem to have just thrown a load of fuel in to cover the cough at 4.5k and i believe people have had issues with the idle, as i said earlier im on Dreamscience and it has a good strong boost spike compared to the Bluefin which is quite smooth (boring) lol i would recomed you take it to Demon Pete at DPC http://www.demonperformancecentre.co.uk/ only down in crewe he does his own range of maps for the FRS and a complte guru when it comes to our cars! or get the Dreamscience.

Is yours painted now?
