Never heard of them. Seems very cheap for a remap though.

Like the thought of a family wagon that can do over boy racers at the traffic light grand prix lol

I have heard people complain about bluefin having flat spots etc but never used one my self so cant really advise on that.
A re-map will be better than a hand held unit but its down to personal choice.

The car will be night and day mate, the 2.5 reacts very well to a remap!

Regardless of who you use, you'll be a fan... but if I had one of these 2.5t cars then I'd have a Dreamscience map on there without a doubt, heard loads more people praise them than I have Bluefin.


Cheers,
Grant

Your car is being reviewed on Top Gear on Dave right now.

I'd just buy from Dreamscience direct, however there could be better places/traders on the Focus ST Owners Club possibly??


Cheers,

From what I can gather from the FocusSTOC, the Bluefin is a more smooth remap whereas the Dreamscience as a bit more aggressive. Generalising I know but that's the general drift.

If you do want a Bluefin then get yourself down to A1 Autocare near me in Offord Cluny as they're doing them discounted at the moment being a superchips dealer:

That is very high gearing

40mph per 1000rpm is very high from a 2.5
