About this remap
Ford Kuga - Escape 1.5 T Ecoboost 182 hp Stage 1 — what changes
The Ford Kuga - Escape 1.5 T Ecoboost 182 hp (2016–) leaves the factory at 182 BHP and 240 Nm of torque. Manufacturers deliberately detune this engine to separate it from more expensive variants in the range — a Regal Tuning Stage 1 calibration safely recovers that headroom through the ECU alone: no hardware changes, no dyno risk, fully reversible.
Fuelling, boost pressure, ignition and torque limiters are optimised within the safe tolerances of the 1.5 T Ecoboost 182 hp powertrain (petrol). The result is 205 BHP and 290 Nm with factory smoothness, cold-start protection and emissions behaviour retained.
