I do apologise, I didn't read your post properly, Gibbo.
Merlin, that was exactly my point with the boost tailing off.

I think it's just one of those good cars. Running 370+ from the VF35 at the moment.
It did boost spike, but no more than the standard Prodrive map. Only ever went as high as 1.3bar, and then dropped down and held to about 1 bar. Took me nearly two years to get it mapped and it was fine
Drivers Republic timing of a remapped ST along with a standard ST and RS Focus timings. STI PPP is quicker to 100 aswell as over a second quicker over the 1/4 mile going by the Evo timings of a 14.5 1/4 mile but the ST is quite a bit quicker with the runs in each gear. Even the standard STs time are quicker in some cases.

335i is also included that is fast to 100 through the gears !
The point I was trying to make is that at STi at 300bhp doesn't feel fast - again all IMO.
I agree it doesn't mask the sensation of it's speed, but I can imagine coming from the ST which the OP knows how to keep on song, vs the STi which is new to him and lacking low down grunt in comparison - it could feel sluggish from the off.
those gains (from Std Focus to Mountune Focus above)are from an Autocar Test to a Drivers Republic Test
May be different grip from the surface, different weather etc..
blob PPP was 305 bhp
It felt slow (well, not as quick as the ST and I'm talking acceleration, not actual speed) because I'm used to my ST delivering a huge wall of torque at 3000-3500RPM. I'm pretty sure I already explained this.
Look at the torque.
And yet you didn't come get me like I requested in your thread
Sorry dude, you posted that early afternoon and I was due to go out to see clients hence the no reply.
