Ford Focus 1.5 TDCI 95ps Stage 3 (150 BHP)

We’ve developed an advanced VNT turbo upgrade remap for the Ford Focus 1.5 TDCI 95ps engine which uses the same turbo as the 1.5 120 BHP model. The turbo used here is a GTD1244VZ from the 1.5 120 model which is almost a direct fit. The injectors used are the same on both the 75, 95 and 120 BHP models so there is no need to upgrade these, although for maximum performance we would recommend an intercooler upgrade. This gives excellent performance figures with 330Nm torque and 150 BHP.

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.
