For the price I'd do it. It's reasonably safe & simple.

The diesel engines found in fiestas 2002-2008 respond to mapping extremely well without needing to be overstressed! Your main restriction is actually the turbo not the engine!

Did you clean both the mating surfaces before replacing the seal? Did you tighten everything up correctly?

Plug into the OBD Port, download the standard map, upload the remap, unplug, done. Literally as easy as can be

£359 for a Bluefin?

I'd just go with a normal remap tbh.  Think I paid £150 for mine.  Which is about 3 times more than I've ever paid for an EDC15 remap, stupid EDC16 ECU. :laugh:

I have used his maps on Peugeots in the past so had no problem using him for the Focus.  Mine is a 110 model, so up to about 140bhp now.

Ok, so you can buy the map online and it'll get emailed to you.

You then use MPPS or similar to plug between your laptop USB port and the cars OBD port.  Then using the MPPS software copy your original map and store it safely, and upload the new map.  Then unplug the laptop and it's done.  It doesn't get left plugged in.

Steve was recommending not to use MPPS on my car last year and to use BDM100 instead.  I posted my ECU to him to flash as I didn't fancy risking it myself but if he told you to use MPPS then fair enough.  I have used MPPS and Galletto software for flashing remaps on other cars without issue.

Sound easy I also find this company http://www.jfautomotive.co.uk which is near my location they want £230 something like that dyno run warranty maybe I go with that one instead just to be safe

But first need to fix my thorttle body as oil leak from there no point I do remap lol then turbo goes as there was bit more oil than should
