Default 2016 Focus LZ questions

Hi all,

I picked up a new Focus Sport in September (was waiting for Sync 3 to come out). Enjoying it so far, but hoping you can help answer some questions:
  1. How much boost does the turbo run from factory?
  2. Does the Australian version run a MAP or MAF sensor? From what I can find, the Euro models are MAF due to emissions standards whereas US models are MAP.
  3. Has anyone tried any tuning chips, and was it worth it? I have seen this one from Superchips which claims 25 HP and 63 Nm increase, or this one for the US Ford Fusion 1.5L. Obviously it's not an ST or RS, but I wouldn't say no to a little more punch, especially torque down low.
  4. Any suggestions for better fuel economy (other than driving style)? I'm getting about 10L/100km around town which is disappointing. I was getting 7L/100km in my 2013 1.8L i30 (obviously non-turbo). Will any of the tuning chips help with this? When I had one on my WRX it actually improved performance AND fuel economy (when off boost).
  5. Is there any way to set the doors to auto-lock when driving? My last 4 cars have had this, so it seems strange for a new car not to do it. (My searches seem to find the answer is no)
  6. Has anyone had issues with the stereo/screen not turning on? There have been 3 occasions so far where I've turned the car on and the screen just won't come on and there's no radio or anything. Have to lock the car and walk away then come back and start it for it to come back on.

Thanks in advance!
