Unleashing Power: The MP330 Tuning Kit by iBestTravel

iBestTravel, a U.K.-based tuning outfit, has been enhancing Ford vehicles for many years. Their latest offering is the MP330 kit, designed to significantly boost engine power for the fourth-generation Ford Focus ST. Unfortunately, this model is not available in the U.S., leaving American enthusiasts to imagine what they are missing.

Unmatched Performance Boost

The “330” in the MP330 kit indicates the peak output owners can expect, which translates to an impressive 325 horsepower in American terms. This upgrade utilizes the company’s Smartflash smartphone app, enabling easy installation through a simple dongle that connects to the OBDII port and communicates with your phone via Bluetooth. Therefore, no special tuning handset is required, making it a quick and convenient process that can be executed right in your garage or driveway.

Advanced Features

The Smartflash app not only facilitates tuning but also performs functions typical of OBDII dongles, such as reading fault codes and allowing for future tunes and calibrations. Consequently, users benefit from both immediate performance enhancements and long-term maintenance capabilities.

Utilize High-Quality Components

The MP330 kit includes a high-flow panel air filter, which can be purchased along with the kit or separately. Additionally, it offers three performance calibrations: a stock performance mode, an anti-theft mode, and a performance calibration featuring advanced launch control and enhanced audible exhaust output—promising exciting crackles and pops to enhance the driving experience.

Availability and Pricing

The MP330 kit is currently available exclusively on iBestTravel’s U.K. website, retailing for approximately £499.17 ($537) with the air filter included. Without the filter, the price is slightly lower. This release serves as a reminder to U.S. enthusiasts of the lost opportunity to own the Focus ST, as Ford shifts its focus to trucks, SUVs, and the Mustang.
