Default Edit tuner is coming for Focus!

We have just heard from a source in the office that at the same time as the AU falcon Edit tuner is released, software to edit the Current model focus is also being released. This is especially good news seeing as a well known turbo tuning house is also developing a turbo kit for the new focus

I'd be guessing LS, we were told specifically it was coming for the current model focus, which we are taking as being for the new focus only. Time will reveal all though I guess

But I have been told by the Bluefin people in the UK that they do not have anything available for my LR Focus (pcm XSU1), nor are they likely to (and the impression I got was they couldn't give a stuff).

And I got the same answer twice from them (at least they're consistent)

(Greetings from Tokyo by the way guys)
