Default 2015 Ford Ranger Re-Map

Hi there, i have a new Ford Ranger T6 with the 3.2 engine.

Anyone had one re-mapped ?

Super chips offers +45bhp and + 117 NM but need a blue fin ??

Where as

Evolution chips is +35bhp and + 80n NM

Like i said not sure what a Blue fin is but it looked like you have to open the ECU to do something where i think the Evo map is all done thought the OBD port.

I thought that but they are quite big gains for not much outlay...

I second this. They mapped my jeep, EGR delete and sorted other issues and can not fault the map, the work they did or the price.

That was a 3.0 CRD.

Ah right.

If that's the case probably model specific as well.

Just get a hand held unit and remove the map come service time.

Thanks for the reply's.

Yes is does pull like a train but it quite gutless lowdown, it has a very very short 1st gear so really need to pull off is 2nd but it does not have low down torque to do this like my Toyota did. I was hoping it give it a bit more torque, also i was looking for a better MPG return and some more POWER

Will give MSD a call and quiz them
