The Focus RS MK3 takes the RS marque back to 4WD giving exceptional point to point drivability and performance. This is a very modern 4WD system with sophisticated torque vectoring and a true driver’s car sticking with manual shifting to ensure a directly engaging drive.Sabre big power options for the RS MK3 platform are extensive. In 2020 we developed a modular external wastegate platform that allows turbo upgrades from the Garrett G-Series range. Starting at the 520 power level we can move accordingly with current power packages up to 750bhp. This is a very comprehensive upgrade option with full guidance on every aspect of the upgrade and what is required to achieve absolute performance. As with all upgrades our key target is to achieve maximum drivability in conjunction with headline figures. Despite the big changes with turbos, camshafts, cylinder headwork etc, Sabre upgrades drive and perform with factory levels of comfort ensuring a turnkey experience under all conditions.The Sabre G-Series platform includes the following turbos:– G25-550 – G30-660 – G30-770 – G30-900 – G35-1050Beyond the Garrett options, we also have specific tuning for the following turbos:– Precision NX2 – EFR7163 (as used in the Mountune M520) – Sabre EF7163 hybrid (up to 600bhp)Of course there are other turbo options and we can accommodate tuning for many turbo configurations including special one off options.

The earlier pre-facelift model does not currently support the bluetooth operations but does support Windows laptop programming.Recommended Hardware The Sabre Stage 3 requires typical bolt on upgrades as a starting platform. The key upgrade is the Sabre 500RSX turbo which is a direct fit to existing hardware. If you do not wish to build your engine (forged engine) then we can limit power to circa 440-460bhp on a good fuel. For built engines we can expect to see 460-480bhp with standard cams with a HPFP upgrade. For power up to 500-520 we recommend Stage 3 cams spring kit and/or water/meth injection.Choose from… – Full remote tuning options via BluTune – Book in at Sabre – Locate your nearest Sabre dealerPurchase information Sabre ECU software upgrades have been developed under many conditions and cars. This process allows us to assess the tuning long term according to specification and variations, not just from a single vehicle.Optimal performance and drivability will be achieved where typical hardware, conditions and fuel octane are used. Underlying and existing faults should be rectified before installing performance software.
