Stage 1 for the 2.5 litre engine that powers the XR5 Turbo involves the
SCT X3 Ford Flash device. The X3 allows Autotech to reprogram the
factory ECU (computer), enabling higher power levels, combined with
better driveability and fuel economy. The X3 can also store up to 3
different tunes for different applications or fuel types.
The Stage 2 Kit for the 2.5 litre engine that powers the XR5 Turbo
includes the SCT X3 Ford Flash device and a high flow twin 2.5 inch
stainless cat back exhaust system. This custom made exhaust frees up gas
flow and a cold air intake is also added to ensure the engine has
proper breathing capacity to maximise power.
