I would say no - leave it as Mountune intended (map is sensitive to change)

+1 If that's how it has been set up and mapped to that, if you change it could have running issues rather quickly.

Default Air box lid off

Ey up everyone,

Just so you all know i bought an inlet manifold from Matt Lewis Motorsport (fantastic guy to deal with)

After looking at his focus rs mk2 i noticed he was running without the airbox lid off !! And said it felt better without it on !

I have fitted the inlet now and treid it both ways with the lid on / off and there is so much difference with it off.

Any of you want owt for a mk2 focus rs then get in touch with Matt Lewis his details are above.

THANKS ONCE AGAIN MATT
