V40 2.0 D4 VEA engine remap

Apart from paying my local Volvo dealer £600 for the Polestar map, which I’m begrudging doing as they won’t adjust the cost as I don’t have an automatic box. What are the options? I feel the twin turbo VEA has potential to be both economical and brisk.

Some people in the owners club have used RICA.

For around £500 you can get 260hp:

There's a big boost in torque too, I'm not sure what the standard clutch is rated for though.

Thanks, I had seen Rica, but hadn’t tracked down any UK dealers. I will have a chat with a few of the dealers regarding the clutch. I feel I may know the outcome.
