ST225 Power Tests Revealed.
The October 2012 Edition of Performance Ford Magazine ran an article comparing 5 high level remaps available for the modified Ford Focus ST225.

Pumaspeed supplied a simple Ultimate Edition Tuning Box with 2 tunes, a simple Stage 3 tune (310 bhp) and the Stage 4 tune (for larger Focus RS Mk2 412/440 cc injector Set )
The test vehicle owned by one of the magazine's reporters had the following items fitted:
3 inch downpipe, 200 Cell Sport Cat , Cat-Back Exhaust System, Pro Alloy ST/RS intercooler, CAIS.
The following graphs are taken from the magazine article and show back to back test results of the following remaps:
Pumaspeed Ultimate 310 - Red line (Stage 3 equivalent)
Pumaspeed Ultimate 412 - Pink line (Stage 4 equivalent)
REVO Stage 2 - light green Line
JWR Autotech stage 3 - blue line
Superchips Bluefin Stage 3 - dark green line
Our Stage3 Ultimate 310 remap has been specifically designed to be smooth and progressive with power and torque starting lower to eliminate wheel spin, but with power hanging on until after 5500rpm. Test results give a huge 245.7 wheel horse power (320.7 bhp at flywheel) with boost pressure at just under 18.5 psi.
Our Stage3+ Ultimate 322 remap has been specifically designed to be more aggressive with power and torque still starting lower to eliminate wheel spin, but with a huge lift in torque nearer 375 lbs ft with power hanging on until well after 5500rpm. Test results were not done on the day but there is a Graph Link HERE and at the foot of this article showing hub dyno results of a massive 282 wheel horse power
Our Stage 4 Ultimate 412 remap has been designed to be smooth and progressive; it can be used with or without injectors and with or without Hybrid turbochargers. The power almost mirrors its 310 younger brother all the way up to 5250 revs where the power curves split and the mapping changes and injectors really take over. At around 6000 rpm there was a gain of 30 bhp against the lower Stage 3 310 and over 40 bhp more than the Superchips and JWR Autotech.
Torque Figures below again show the progressive nature of the Stage 3 and Stage 4 mappings. Keeping wheel spin to a minium allows for traction off the line and allows the turbo to release a massive 50 more lbs ft at 5700 than the Superchips or JWR autotech
Installing any of the Pumaspeed Remaps is a very simple process taking no longer than 10 minutes. The first time the handset based maps are installed it takes a little longer nearer 30 minutes.
The familiar X2 handset below carries 2 maps of your choice .It can be sent anywhere worldwide for instant trouble free installation.
Or for UK based customers prepared to visit the Workshop ,a remap can be fitted via our one shot system without the need for a handset for a the lower cost of £275.
One of the many benefits of the Pumaspeed Focus ST 225 tuning device is that when the stock tune is reinstalled onto the car ,the box becomes free to be used on any other car. Effectivley giving tto the box value to any future purchaser. Typical used box prices on familier ebay type sites can range from 200 to 300 UK pounds.This make the purchase of the device one of the most sensible purchses a Focus ST owner can make.
