Finally got around to tuning my overpriced Ford Focus :)

I saw gains of up to 70whp and 70wtq with peak to peak gains of just about 50rwp and 50wtq compared to stock. Only mods are a HP tuners tune, AEM drop in filter, and a ETS FMIC

Definitely a hell of a lot of fun for a DD!

Those are great at-the-wheel gains for that lil' slut!
Thanks man
Neat cars - pretty stout with a tune for sure.

Now wash that thing!
You should know from PA, that it's damn near impossible to keep a car clean that's a DD in the winter
You really cant hate on the ecoboost lineup. All varaties really wake up with a tune. Must be a real fun car!
It's a complex ECU that basically monitors exhaust flow among others. It will keep tuning itself down to make only X amount of power. It was only running 15psi and opening the throttle 41%

Now with 100% and 20-22 psi it's made a huge difference

Nice! If it wasn't for the RS3 I'd consider swapping my S3 on one of these

Thanks for the video. Looking good!

Put my ETS intercooler on last weekend. Waiting for the full exhaust to come in from backorder. No cat downpipe, no resonator, and a mufflerless rear section. Running Tune+ W400 kit as well.

I have a Nitrous Blue one in stock and a black one on the way.

PM if interested.
