Volvo V40 T3 (Ford Ecoboost)

Volvo V40 T3 (Ford Ecoboost)

The Volvo V40 in the T3 version is an elegant used premium compact car that offers solid performance and high operating refinement in its standard version.
However, this unit has a large mechanical and software power reserve - therefore, only after modifying the ECU software does it show its full potential.


What does chip tuning Volvo V40 T3 give you?

Based on experience with many units of this unit and analysis of logs from the Dynomax / Dynomet dynamometer, we have developed an individual Stage 1 file that allows you to safely increase power and torque across the entire rpm range.

Parameter In series After modification Increase
Power (hp) 150 hp 200 hp +50 hp
Torque (Nm) 250 Nm 310 Nm +60 Nm

The effect is felt immediately – the car responds faster to the gas pedal, accelerates better from low revs, and flexibility increases significantly from 2000 rpm.


Technology and controller – Bosch MED17

Depending on the year and engine version, the Volvo V40 T3 is equipped with a Bosch MED17 controller, which manages, among other things, ignition, boost pressure and turbine operation.

We read and write the software using the bench method, which allows for full control over all maps.
We prepare each file individually - we do not use ready-made solutions, only manually modified chip tuning files matched to the HW/SW version of the controller.


Is tuning the Volvo T3 safe?

Yes – provided it is performed by a specialist with experience in working with MED17.0.
Each project is preceded by:

  • 🔍 detailed diagnostics and measurement of engine operating parameters,

  • 📊 analysis of test drive logs,

  • 💻 control of AFR, ignition, EGT and boost values.

We work only with legal software and professional hardware (CMD Flash, Autotuner, Kess3, Flex) .
Thanks to this, the modification is 100% safe and the effects are repeatable and stable.


For tuners and workshops – file processing and file service Volvo MED17

We also offer chip tuning files and an online file service for tuners and workshops.
If you work with Volvo cars, you can order a ready-made Stage 1 file or an individual processing of the ECU MED17 file .

We deliver:

  • 💾 Chiptuning Stage 1 files for Volvo,

  • ⚙️ Individual ECU software processing ,

  • ⏱️ Completion time: 30–40 minutes ,

  • 🔍 Technical support and log analysis .

Each file is dyno tested and created within safety limits – so you get a professional, proven ECU file that works flawlessly from the first flash.
