Is 320 horse power too much
47k miles, Full dealership and specialist stamped service history, last serviced and inspected 2 weeks ago @ Sitech racing and given clean bill of health plus rolling road session - all paperwork to prove.This car is running conservatively @ 318.9 bhp @ 18psi and could easily acheive 350-360bhp with another mapping session. Very fast car and not for the faint hearted
Garett Hybrid Turbo
JEG Heatwrapped Tubular Manifold
3" Turbo Back Mongoose Exhaust System
Forge Uprated Actuator
Forge Dump Valve
Uprated Chargecooler
Uprated Clutch
Stage 3 Remap 318.9 bhp (Sitech Printout to prove)
Annodised Engine Bolts
Scan Gauge
Any feedback would be brilliant as I never had a modified car and scared of something going bang with big bills to fix

sounds fine mate although I assume you mean JEK manifold?
There are plenty running around that power and more with no real issues as you've uprated the clutch. I would check the fuel pump has been upgraded as they can run into problems if you drive it too hard at your power on the standard pump.
Demon pete sells them though.

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
i personally would NEVER buy an uprated and tuned Focus rs..or any car.
Its much better to start of with a standard car...and make it your own as you have experienced the car the way it was meant to be.
It saves you from sooooo many potentially big problems...even though a mild tune like this shouldnt be a big problem..but still....it CAN be.
And last but not least...a tuned car will most likely have been abused by previous owner...not always the case...but more likely than if the car was a standard one.
cheers.
