They all seem to dip with standard mapping when the EGR opens, maybe its Ford specific though if you don't get it with the PSA cars? Blanking the EGR seems to be the fix on the Ford forums but I'm not keen on that without mapping, though I did buy a blank months ago. There are also no EGR faults on live diags or codes left.
Removing the DPF and re-mapping would cost as much as swapping to a 2.0 - with the Focus you get a 6 speed box and rear discs on the 2.0 as well so I'd rather put the money towards another instead of modding this one.
I have been tightening the injectors at each service, but as they're supposed to be angle tightened I'm not sure 'guess tweaking' them is good for the bolts?
I do have the original turbo still, GT1544v, but it just seems to have a tiny power band. Though maybe its because I'm more used to bigger VNTs? Both the Golfs and Vec used a GT1749v, which was slightly laggier bottom end addmittedly but had a much wider power band.
