One of the bits of info about the ESC/TSC is you do not want traction control on nor should it be in Sport mode on the track..it will eat up your brakes bad. You need to completely disable traction control if you're really pushing the car. also, if you pre-load your wastegate, as stated, definitely get a tune for it.. Another thing thats nice to know if you're out hooning your car, is Ford gave you a little power assist if you go WOT...your TPS tells your PCM to temporarily disengage the A/C... so you dont need to worry about having A/C on and remembering to turn it off when you are running someone ^_^

Many say the 2016-2018 Ford Focus ST models (the last ones made, sadly) are the best, fastest most powerful best equipped & most importantly most Reliable/rugged & less problematic of all the Focus STs. Prob same applies to Focus RS but not sure. Please advise. Thanxx

Aside from the intake sensor being slightly different, 2013-2018 models are mechanically almost identical. I have a few buddies with newer and older STs in the range, and speed and reliability just varies individually based on driving habits, maintenance and mod choices
@dham99 Жыл бұрын
The main thing is your preference on aesthetics...interior is a bit different (steering wheel, gauges), and the bumpers/valance differ... but one of the biggest differences and actual performance upgrades is the 2014.5+ have bigger front rotors/caliper brackets. If you try to put a 2013/early 2014 on a 2015+ it wont fit at all. Auto parts stores dont often know this and will sell you a 2012+ caliper/brakcet/rotor/etc.... they're wrong. But the engine/trans are identical between all the STs.

Sync 2 looks so much cooler than sync 3. Sync 3 is really dull and has so many limitations on customization. I wouldn't actually reccomend tightening the factory waste gate. It is made of brittle plastic and is already prone to failure, especially if you push the car alot and or have mods. Mine blew itself apart very early on, probably like 28k miles or so. Id reccomend the mountune "recirculation valve". It's the same design as OEM, but made of metal components. I push 21-22psi out of it, and it's been holding up with no issues. You also get a significant 'whoosh' sounds too. It's a super easy install: just 3 Alan head bolts.
