Default KUGA - restoration to 177kw

Thinking of the run out Kuga, can anybody tell me how to get the Aust detuned engine back to original tune and power on the 5 cylinder turbo?

I reckon you could take it to the tuning companies who do the XR5 Turbo Focus as they have the same engines.

Same engines but different ECU's like the Mondeo XR5T and the Focus XR5T and the Focus RS. All have different ECU's.

They kuga will defincately have a different ECU considering it runs AWD. The ECU might not be cracked/hacked/solved yet.
