TDCI Focus

[BenFez]

Picked up a black LT tdci a few weeks ago. Love it. Took it in for a 45k service the other day $300. Still has to go back as it has developed a squeaky drivers seat which they need to fix (warranty).

Was lurking here doing some reading. Of course became interested in the minor mods. I ended up ordering a Bluespark pro unit (not bluefin) from the UK and fitted it yesterday. This unit has 9 maps/profiles and 10 settings for each map. I have only tried the default map on default setting (map 5 on 75%) so far, but very nice. The car is definitely idling better (smoother) and much more responsive and of course a bunch more power.

Why did I grab this and not others or even a Bluefin? hmmm. Could not stretch to a Bluefin budget wise. Also, I liked the fact that it has a bunch of different maps and settings to play with. You can just dial it up to wherever the ECU decides you are making too much power and goes into limp mode. Then you back the setting off until that stops. I also read quite a bit about first hand accounts of these on a UK Jaguar forum and it was all good. I got this one for about $290 AUD delivered.

The guy was pretty responsive to questions. Has even sent a message since I received it saying if I have any problems with any of the settings to let him know and he would suggest some changes.
