Hi everyone this is my first post and I'm hoping I can get some information and tips on what the best upgrades to start with to give my Mondeo XR5 Turbo a bit more power. I dont want to build a race car or anything ridiculous but I want to give it a good boost in power as it is stock. I am pretty much a newb when it comes to cars but I have a little bit of knowledge and want to learn if anyone is willing to help. Also wondering where I can purchase whatever parts I need to get online if possible. Any tips will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

"If it ain't broke don't fix it"
How much power do you need?

Thanks for your reply. To be honest I dont really have a target number of hp or kw I'm looking for but I definitely want to add more than what it has stock. I'm more than happy to hear suggestions of how much to add. I definitely want a better exhaust note and I've been told a 3" turbo back exhaust will most likely be satisfying. Again, I am at the very beginning of my quest to gain automotive knowledge so bear with me haha

Good advice from sailaway, however, I have found Superchips (based in Melbourne) retune to be reliable and effective on my Mondeo MD Diesel.
They do have a tune for the XR5 and I have included a link to their site in this message: https://www.superchips.com.au/ford-f...une-remap.html |

Thanks for the link. Is that something I can add before doing any mechanical upgrades?

Speak to Jamie. Tell him Dallas sent you. Thank me later. He is the absolute wiz with euro Fords. In particular the 5 cylinder turbo. If you have Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/xr5stoc/?ref=share

Hi guys can anyone tell me what would be the best turbo to get after a stage 1 blue fin tune and PWR intercooler. Looking for something that bolts straight on hopefully but willing to do the work if not. Any info would be great
