The latest version of the Ford Mondeo Mk5 has won plenty of fans worldwide with its sharp dynamics and 240PS, 2.0-litre, direct injection turbocharged Ecoboost engine. But as with any hot Ford, there are always owners who want more performance than the factory can offer. Continue Reading
Owners and drivers of Ford models fitted with the latest version of the Duratorq turbodiesel engine and the marque’s double-clutch automatic transmission, the Powershift, can now enjoy improved performance and potentially, fuel economy, thanks a new ECU remap from global leader Superchips.
The 210PS version of the engine, fitted to the Galaxy, S-Max, Mondeo and Edge ranges and using Delphi management, can now see its output increase by 33bhp at 4079rpm and a significant 82Nm torque at 1723rpm, thanks to the latest Superchips remap.
The full power and torque curves can be seen by clicking the following link:
Not only does power and torque increase significantly, the way in which they are delivered also improves. The torque curve, for example, is flatter and the Superchips conversion eliminates a large dip in the curve as the engine approaches the mid-range.
In addition to the improvements in performance, drivers can also expect to see gains of up to 7% in fuel economy with the remap, compared with a similar pre-conversion driving style.
The conversion can be carried out by owner themselves, using Superchips’ Bluefin device, at a cost of £399 including VAT.
With a Bluefin, users don’t need any mechanical or technical skills, simply plug the Bluefin handset into the diagnostic port (connecting to the vehicle’s Electronic Control Unit) and follow the on-screen instructions.
Alternatively, it can be performed by one of Superchips’ highly skilled nationwide dealers, at a cost of £365 including labour and VAT. The conversion is covered by Superchips’ market-leading 12-month/30,000-mile warranty.*

Drivers of Ford models using the Euro6 variant of the company’s successful two-litre turbodiesel Duratorq engine can now enjoy improved performance and potentially, economy, thanks to the latest addition to the Superchips portfolio.
The global ECU remap leader has introduced a conversion which adds to the engine’s already impressive 180PS output when used in the Mondeo, S-Max, Galaxy and Vignale 2.0 TDCi models.
The Superchips remap increases power by 42bhp at 4055rpm and torque by a very impressive 73Nm at 2267rpm.
This combination improves driveability with the additional torque at the lower end of the engine’s rev range while the increase in power provides benefits in acceleration for safer overtaking and more relaxed cruising.
