Mcchip Tunes Ford Focus RS

Mcchip Ford Focus RS 2.5

The newest Ford Focus RS is great, agressive power and great styling in an affordable package. What is there not to love? These aren’t even state side and I love it. I am not sure if a tuner’s manifesto exists, but if it does the first lines would probably be “a few more horsepower couldn’t hurt”. The guys over at Mcchip must have the same book, they have released a awesome two stage package for the Ford Focus 2.5 RS and its good! Stage 1 will net you 345hp, a stout 40hp more than factory. The Stage 2 kit goes a bit further than an ecu upgrade but includes hardware to raise the Focus RS to fear instilling 400Hp!
