Your tune will still work without the A/F gauge until I can get 1?
I know what the dashscan does, so does it just plug into the OBD port or does it need wiring?
I'll send you a PM later about call you friday
1M5F is not a valid code. Check again on your processor, there should be another group of 4 digits that begins with a number. The european codes are typically a number followed by 3 letters.

1M5F-12A650-TC
If that's not it I'll have to go down to a SCT dealer and get them to get the code.
Ford had to reflash my ECU because I removed the ECU so maybe it's an different code all together?

That is the part number, not the strategy code. The code will be on the processor. If you cannot find it, someone with an SCT or diablo device can read the strategy code (at least I think the diablo does this too.)

I'll go down to the SCT dealer tomorrow and get that code for you and Tom
I can't find the post Tom did about the new firmwear code from SCT you gotta have, I'll be needing this?

I made 102.9Whp with 3 mods so what do you think I'll make with the new tune?
If I can get 5-10hp I'll be happy
I'll be using 98octane over here and I beleive that your 93octane.

I know what the dashscan does, so does it just plug into the OBD port or does it need wiring?

I thought we checked you code and confirmed that it was a good code , your looking for 3 letters then a # like JFA8 , RLA1 etc

European codes are usually not in that format. They are typically one number followed by 3 letters like 3NFG.

Where to being.
Went to the SCT dealer and they didn't want to get the code for me.
Went to another performance shop who going to work on my car and ask them to scan it and get the code and I was telling them about SCT and it coming with a tune so the guy made an phone call and he said we can get SCT now and we can do it for $1500 AUD and I was told well we got no idea what's on this tune different fuel between here and the U.S. and if we can't tune it we're not really interested
I said I would buy the softwear for it

I'm going else where to get it scaned next week.
How long well this deal keep going for????
Tom what's your ph for the shop and will you be there all day friday???? PM your work shop address because I've had a gutful of this crap here Tom
I'll send you all my parts

I have also been looking for my Focus, im in Melbourne, I went for a drive in a turbo 02 Focus 3 weeks ago tuned and installed at Herrord Motorsport whom are a SCT Aus Dealer, I have been advised that to pick up the Xcal 3 For the Euro Focus is for $800. This whole thing is harder than anticipated due to differences but not going to let that stop me.

Please feel free to advise anything thus far if you have found differences.

Cheers

LOL Your not worng let me tell ya, I've been fighting this issue for a good year now and the hard work is paying off.
Tom has been willing enough to put in the effort and time to get these tune code file for us.
Like ok Dream science stuff up but, now the codes are open to any SCT dealer not just 1 company.

1 big reason why Austrlian SCT dealer don't want you to know about SCT U.S. beccause it all comes down to money, I'll put it to you this way.

Xcal 2/3 is like $400U.S. or less with tune and it cost us $1000AUS with no tune files.
It'll cost Tom $100 to get our euro code and program it into the xcal and over here it'll cost us $650-$800 for the same thing

The pro racer package just rev me up like you wouldn't beleive
It cost $728U.S. and it cost over here $2500-3000AUD

Just remember this SCT U.S. made the hardwear and softwear and not any1 else

By the time you work out Currency etc it's still alot cheaper to buy it from the U.S. and i think Tom work it out to be like 200-300% mark up
you can still buy the SCT xcal2/3 and get it tune over here if you wish also

I bet Holden LS1 engine ECU code are the same as GM
