Hey guys it has been a while since my last post here and I am now at 30k kilometers. First service next week 
. The performance is excellent but I just want that little more juice 
Anyone with experience here and are the gains definately noticeable after it has been tuned? I am a little worrying about the gearbox though, I am sure the engine can withhold up to 350hp, but I am not sure about the gearbox, since the torque is already high (560nm) Also, will it remove the limiter at 250kph?
Also, when I trade in the car can I have the tuner set back the original software and will the dealer be able to read it from the datacomputer if it has been tuned?
Thanks!
And here is a pic of my ride.

OMH, 600+ Nm of torque! That's killer.

The best remap imo is from wetterauer, even better than the dms one. Why? Because i already have the plenty torque reserves, i want a bit more hp, so i'd happily tilt the scale for bhp in detriment of some more torque. Result : 350bhp and 660 NM of torque.

But nothing is enough?
My two cents would go for leaving car as it is.
The chip gives you a bit more juice but why
destroy (in the long run) a perfect car?

I have had 5 cars remapped cars and never had a problem with any of them.
Get it remapped and enjoy mate, totally transforms it.
