Any particular ST?

I would guess you mean Focus, but there is a Fiesta ST and several Mondeo STs.

Edit to add: Just seen your other posting. The best place to try is the www.fordmondeo.org forum for both your issues. I would avoid 1-size-fits-all type chips, and go for one that requires setting up on a dyno. Before that, however, I would investigate a better flowing exhaust with a de-cat. As the engine isn't a turbo unit, a chip on it's own is unlikely to provide big power gains, but on the positive side it is less likely to overcook the engine.

The missus took her ST200 to Chipped Uk to get the Economy re-map.

Standard 6 year old car with 130k miles :- Started off at 212bhp!! and with the rolling road and the re-map she came back with 220bhp and better fuel economy.

That was done about 6 weeks ago and so far nothing detrimental to mention.

She's a member on the ST Owners forum and I think they organised a special rate etc.
