Hopefully a quick question.

I’m looking at S-Max’s. In particular the 2.2 and my budget gets me into the 2010-2012 models.
The earlier ones are 175bhp, the later 197. There is also a significant different in torque, which is arguably more important as I like the lazy way a diesel lets you drive.
Obviously I’d prefer the extra poke.
Is the extra bhp/torque a simple remap away, or are there physical differences to the engines internals?
