Almost 16.000Km and all is great, lot of off-road, even small jumps, trailer with horses and stuff, couldn't be more happy! I just need some more HPs and the beast is perfect
+7psi should be more or less like the non EU version so close to 400hp since the AU version goes a little bit over 1bar, it would be a good start, but my only doubt is if in the EU version they tuned as well other parts like transmission etc. and maybe adding only boost without other setting...
I'm researching a lot about GPF, but it seems is not limiting peak power, just a better curve of low-mid rpm power and torque, but it shouldn't be much of a limiting factor...
This one seems committed!

For what I've seen around the GPF should't limit much the power output, few HP, but I'm no expert, I won't take it off if not extremely necessary
Yep, now that I got used to it, the difference between the capabilities and power is more and more marked, I mean, suspensions and all the tech behind how easy it handle everything, you feel that is designed for much more punch than our version, like riding a racehorse only to walk around the house
1400Km here and everything is fine so far, even in really bumpy roads, in 4A sometimes there's some kind of a very subtle noise but I guess is the normal operation of the dynamic traction control.
I got a response for the last piggyback I posted, they are not ready yet for the EU version, they...
I would like to wait for a Ford Performance ECU remap, for a lot of obvious reason, also because as it is now, frankly, isn't that bad hehe yesterday evening I did another Baja fun run on a riverside dirt road with lots of bumps and a small jump (not a real jump but at 90Km/h I jumped :P), the...
I just found this:

Germany based company, it seems like a JB4 or Racechip, piggyback system on various sensors, seems legit but... It mention the stock at...
I talked with my dealer here and he told me that they will try to give Ford the feedback about the users complaining about the "missing horses", hoping for that performance pack "for off-road use" :D
Not so hard, there are a lot of facebook group for the Raptor in EU, youtube channels and so on, the hard part is to build a strong petition with plausible reasons that are in hard contrast with the EU emissions laws :P
Exactly, even if using a caveat to be linked only to Baja mode or the exhaust in baja mode or something like this to make it possible it will be ok heheh
Maybe we should like do the petition thing and then when we have a lot of people (and I bet every one of the Raptor will sign) then send it...
Definitely, yesterday I got some high speed fun in Baja mode on a really bad road, that was very bumpy even for the Wildtrak, it was like floating and 100% control, the suspensions did incredibly well, but the turbo pressure and overall Hp was asking for more :D
I just heard a rumor (so take it with a grain of salt) that Ford is thinking to offer a performance pack after sale with a ECU tuner unlocking the missing Hps, like they did with the US Ranger Ecoboost Rangers they have, a kit like this:

For what I've seen, there are JB4 available, Racechip in development and some dyno chip tuners getting ready but it seems no EU Raptor have been tuned yet, not on the internet for sure
If I have time tomorrow I'll put the gopro on a side and do some proper fast Baja mode fun on really rough track I have here nearby, maybe a small jump if there's no mountainbikers or horses around :)
Yeah, fuel economy isn't an issue, but having less Hp with 0 benefits is a matter of principle :D
Let me know with you give it a proper off road in baja, it's something really fun, the technology behind this car is absolutely nuts, I love it more every day!
It would be cool but I doubt they will do that and "break" the emissions regulation, but... a baja mode "only for off road use" with the unlocked power would really make lots of people very happy.
What I would like to do is ask an original Ford non EU map so someone who can export/save it and...
