)
The Stage 1 remap is applicable to a range of Ford 1.5 TDCI models such as the Transit Connect, Transit Courier, Tourneo, and even in some countries the Fiesta will come with the 120 engine variant. The remap gives and excellent performance gain with 330Nm torque and 150 BHP. This will make overtaking manoeuvres much safer and easier and will make the car all round better to drive.

- Remove ECU from the vehicle.
- Connect specified wires to ECU plug connector.
- ID the ECU.
- Read the ECU memories.
- Email software to HDI Tuning.

Programming via KTAG or MPPS Tricore
- Order a suitable tool such as Kess KTAG or MPPS Tricore.
- Install the tool to a reliable laptop.
- The ECU must be removed from the vehicle, and then the lid can be carefully pried open and removed. The best way to do this is with 1 small flat head screw driver, 1 medium, and one large. A heat gun will help soften the sealant. Always start at the end furthest from the flat bonded section of the lid. If you attempt to pry open this end you will damage the ECU. A video guide is available on youtube.
- Connect necessary pins to ECU connector plug.
