D4 2.4 181 AWD Tuning
 

I know this used to be discussed a lot but it doesnt seem to get discussed so much now.
I am in remotest Cumbria and was considering a Rica downloader remap or the racechip tuning box and had a few questions I hoped could be answered. The Polestar is too expensive as it only takes me to D5 levels even though it is the same mechanically.

• Will the ecu need removing or can rica crack it remotely?
• is the rica still a bit aggressive on other components as early posts suggested?
• What is the max torque the dmf and manual gearbox can take?

Just looking for overtaking, important with the tourists and driving dead around here.

Any assistance appreciated
