TBH on minor modded cars (exhaust/filter) the Bluefin & Dreamscience will offer very similar gains on the FRS both bhp & torque wise although some of the more expensive dreamscience units do have the option to "live map" your car if you wished to via one of their supported dealers - most Dreamscience units give you the option of 3 maps, basic, Race & Race+ - most leave them on Race+ setting

Essentially both do the same job by plugging in via the obd port & placing a "flashed map" over your existing Ford ecu

Main difference is that once installed the Bluefin is locked to your cars ecu & if removed cannot be sold or used on another car without being reset 1st by Superchips whereas the Dreamscience units tend to have a few "lives" on them which allows you to remove it from the FRS, if you were selling it for instance, & then use it on your next Ford car

Dump valve wise you're best sticking with the recirculating setup that came with the car from the factory - the standard recirc dv can be replaced either with a Bailey DV30 or Forge 007 both of which are recirc dv's but stronger than the factory unit - most people find that by fitting an atmospheric type dump valve like the Bailey DV26 that once fitted the FRS will overfuel more than before, stall when dipping the clutch & can also misfire under hard acceleration

Thanks alex!
I was going for dreamscience because of the lives you get and the 3 options but i had been told that bluefin works alot better with the rs. As for the dupmvalve i had a dv26 and as you say didnt do the rs any good what so ever so it had to go now running alot smoother! Tho i was thinking of the a puma speed options - any thoughts ? ? I do want the woosh sound but if a dumpvalve doesnt help out the rs id rather leave it out

TBH both the DV30 & Forge 007 recircs will sound a bit louder than the oe recirc but not as loud as the atmos ones obviously - if you remove the standard airbox & have an induction kit like the Gen II fitted then you'll notice the recirc dv more when it dumps
