I took it into ford service and gapped the plugs to 0.9mm and the difference is worth the effort. The car is now much smoother and the power is much better. I also fitted an Apexi EL2 boost gauge into a chiptorque dual gauge pod. IT LOOKS AWSOME It is much more accuratreThe car boosts to 0.7 Bar then backs off to 0.4, but I have not had a chance to fully test it, due tot he rain in Sydney

I can confirm this as being true as I have been speaking with a Mechanic who works in a Ford service department & he told me this is in the latest service bulletin update.
