Negative posts only for a non polestar remap. I'm surprised.

It's not like that Dan, I posted to make you aware that they will sell you any map and some exceed what the car is physically possible to achieve without prematurely destroying it, it's not only the engine, the gearbox will have a limit on how much torque it can handle, it's why VAG has so many revisions of the DSG, the manufacturers can tune a 1000cc putt putt to go like an F1 car but only for about 3 miles before it explodes, it's all in the gearing and how much fuel you can drive into the cylinders and of course the actual break point of gearbox component's, a friend of mine fitted a normal clutch in his Passat so save money on the DMF clutch that should've been there, 3 months later snapped crankshaft.

See this as a genuine surprised post, not a sarcastic one. I'm honestly at a loss....

There is a company called OMW Tuning that does a lot of good work with Volvo remaps, I've yet to hear bad feedback for them. To be fair a Volvo biased forum is always going to carry its fair share of naysayers that will preach OEM only.....

I was only basing this one on the suggested 300 bhp on offer as I think it's a map that will break the car, this part of my reply is really intended for Dan btw. |

Thanks all that have viewed and contributed.
I do believe that the car will handle considerably more power. Cars in general are detuned for world wide international markets providing garbage fuels, and to hit emissions targets among other things. Also - if the T4 was more powerful than a T5, who'd buy one unless you needed 4wd? I sold BMWs for a while and had these discussions many times - the M2 was a great example. The M240i was a far better car IMHO, almost as fast with a detuned engine so they could sell the M2. However, as posted in another thread, after considering other map providers and the potential pitfalls, and doing some thinking about how I'll use the car over the next 23 months - A roads and dual carriageways - with 11 months of MD warranty initially, I'm gonna stick with Polestar, so it's booked in for 17th at my local dealer. Cheers.

I like specifics to help people on forums.
I'm insured with LV. My premium runs until March next year and they have just quoted £16.32 extra for polestar optimisation on my T4. Arranged easily through chat facility online.

I had to cancel my Polestar upgrade. Direct Line would not insure me.
