Ford S-Max 2.0 Ecoboost Automat - 203 HP

Automatic transmission shift optimization

Optimizing the shift strategy of an automatic transmission brings smoother driving, faster throttle response and better use of engine power. The gearbox shifts at ideal RPM so the engine is not unnecessarily lugged, which improves comfort in everyday driving as well as acceleration dynamics. The modification can also reduce unnecessary downshifts and repeated searching for the right gear.

Start-Stop system disable

The Start-Stop system automatically shuts the engine off when the vehicle stops, for example at traffic lights, in order to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. In practice, however, it often feels intrusive, slows down take-offs, reduces driving comfort and unnecessarily strains the starter and battery. Disabling this function provides smoother and more natural vehicle behavior without constant engine stop-start cycles.

Disabling the Start-Stop system may lead to a slight increase in fuel consumption and emissions, especially in city driving.

EGR valve disable

The EGR valve (exhaust gas recirculation) is designed to reduce emissions, but in practice it often causes intake contamination, power fluctuations or a higher failure rate. By disabling the EGR, the engine runs cleaner, throttle response improves and the risk of carbon buildup is reduced.

Disabling the EGR may lead to faster DPF clogging and increased emissions.

MAF sensor disable

The MAF sensor (mass air flow meter) is used to precisely measure the amount of intake air for correct fuel dosing. Disabling it is typically used as an emergency solution in cases of wiring issues, a faulty sensor or heavily modified vehicles (for example with a hybrid turbo) where airflow exceeds the measuring range of the sensor. Engine control is then recalibrated so it can operate stably even without this input.

Disabling the MAF sensor means less precise mixture control, which can affect fuel consumption, performance and emissions. This is a compromise solution and does not replace proper fault repair or correct component sizing.

Lambda sensor disable

Do you use a sports exhaust where installing a lambda sensor is not possible, or are you dealing with lambda sensor faults and error messages? We offer a software lambda disable that ensures stable engine operation without unwanted limitations.

Disabling the lambda sensor limits closed-loop combustion control, which may affect fuel consumption, emissions and engine management precision. This modification is mainly intended for modified vehicles and is not suitable for regular road use.

Readiness calibration of emission monitors

Readiness calibration adjusts the status of individual OBD monitors so that diagnostic tests can be completed correctly. In practice, it can help bypass emissions inspection issues, for example when the vehicle has a fault or a modified emissions system.

This modification interferes with the vehicle's emission diagnostic systems and may conflict with legal requirements. A vehicle with this modification may not meet the conditions for road use.

GPF / OPF filter disable

Are you dealing with a clogged petrol particulate filter (GPF/OPF), frequent regenerations or loss of performance? If repair or replacement costs are too high, we offer a software disable that eliminates these issues and ensures smoother, more reliable engine operation.

Removing or disabling the GPF/OPF filter makes the vehicle technically unfit for road use and it will not pass a roadworthiness inspection.

Burbles / Crackles activation

By modifying the ECU, we activate the so-called burbles / crackles effect, which creates characteristic popping and crackling from the exhaust when lifting off the throttle or downshifting. This effect is typical for sporty and high-performance vehicles and gives the car a more emotional and pronounced sound character.

This modification increases the thermal load on the exhaust system (especially the catalytic converter and turbocharger) and may lead to faster wear or damage. It is not suitable for long-term normal road use or stock vehicles without additional modifications.

EVAP system disable

The EVAP system captures and re-burns fuel vapors from the tank, thereby reducing emissions. In practice, however, it may cause fault messages, unstable idle or issues after fuel system modifications. By disabling it, we ensure more stable engine operation without unwanted interventions and recurring errors.

Disabling the EVAP system leads to increased emissions and may allow fuel vapors to escape into the surroundings.
