The 1.6 BlueHDI 120BHP Engine comes fitted with a Bosch EDC17C60 tuning protected ECU and an excellent GTD1244VZ turbo charger. There are many levels of tuning protection in this ECU but our advanced programming equipment and bespoke tuning software can overcome all of this safely.
The GTD turbo offers great spool and lots of torque throughout the rev range, it also gives lots of room to tune further thanks to it’s advanced design and the strength and reliability this offers.
If you would prefer to program your ECU yourself, we suggest that you use the MyGenius OBD Programmer. With this tool you can program directly over the OBD socket without needing to remove the ECU.
Stage 1 (150 BHP
| 320 Nm
)
Our Stage 1 remap will take your 120 BHP BlueHDI to 150BHP and a staggering 320Nm of torque. The stage 1 performance remap provides consistent smooth torque through the entire rev range and great top end power. The 120 BHP BlueHDI engine is fitted with an excellent fourth generation Garrett GTD1244VZ turbo from the factory and this is what delivers such early turbo spool and great top end power.
Even with a stage 1 remap, the turbo charger is well within its safe limits (At HDI tuning we’ve also started to retrofit this turbo model to older variants of the 1.6 engine because it’s such a great turbo).
The AdBlue and DPF systems will not be affected by this remap as we remain well within stock air fuel ratios to promote a clean sootless burn.

Stage 3 (185 BHP
)
The Stage 3 remap uses a hybrid GTD12 turbo. The turbo needs an upgraded 49mm compressor wheel fitted and the compressor housing machined to match. The turbine side is unchanged, the thrust bearing should be upgraded to a 360 bearing to add strength.
This remap also requires an upgraded intercooler, ceramic paddle clutch (there is a LOT of torque) and a full 2.5 inch exhaust system.

Programming Methods – OBD2 or bench programming
Only genuine tuning tools can program the EDC17C60 over OBD such as Autotuner, Combiloader, and now we can also program this ECU type using Dimsport MyGenius.
Recommended programming method:
Program over OBD using the Dimsport MyGenius standalone tool
The Dimsport MyGenius tool is the safest, easiest and most reliable way to program your ECU from home. Simply connect to the OBD port and let the tool do the work, no need to remove your ECU or bench program for most ECU types. For more information have a read here
Programming via Bench service mode PCM Flash or any tools with bench service mode
This is our preferred way to program. The ECU must be removed, but there is no need to open the ECU and risk damage. A full backup can be made of both the EEPROM and the internal flash memories, also the external flash can be read on models where this is present.
- Order a tool such as KTM bench or PCM Flash.
- Remove ECU from the vehicle.
- Connect specified wires to ECU plug connector.
- ID the ECU.
- Read the ECU memories.
- Email software to HDI Tuning.
- Wait for us to prepare your remap and return it back to you.
- Program the remap to the ECU using the same method taken to read the ECU.
- Refit the ECU, check engine starts.
- Let your engine warm up and then take the car for a spin, enjoy the extra power!
Bench Programming via KTAG
- Order a suitable tool such as Kess KTAG
- 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.
- Connect boot pin to correct location. The processor is a TC1793.
- ID the ECU.
- Take a read of all memories present.
- Email the software to remap@hdi-tuning.co.uk along with a description of the remap you require.
- Send payment through our webshop.
- We will modify the software and send back to you. This normally takes less than 2 to 3 hours during work days.
- Using the same tool, ID then write to the ECU. This will overwrite the ECUs memory, it’s important not to interrupt the process. If you encounter any problems we can fix the ECU for you so there’s absolutely nothing to worry about, if you made a backup of all memories you’re extra safe in the event that something were to go wrong.
- Straighten the lid on the ECU and seal with a little silicone.
- Refit the ECU and start the engine.
- Let your engine warm up and then take the car for a spin, enjoy the extra power!
Programming via OBD EDC17C60
- Obtain a suitable programming tool. We recommend Dimsport MyGenius if you want to program over OBD.
- Install the tool to a reliable laptop.
- Connect to the OBD port of your car, make sure you have backup chargers to the vehicle battery and the laptop battery.
- ID the ECU and then take a read of the ECUs flash memory.
- Email the software to remap@hdi-tuning.co.uk along with a description of the remap you require.
- Send payment through our webshop.
