A Norwegian tuner on the forum said that the Volvo power management software won't allow the engine to transmit more power than is safe for the transmission. Polestar increase the torque in the midrange to make the car more drivable. Their power boost is relatively modest compared to what the engine can be made to produce. I've never heard of an intercooler problem being related to a Polestar map on the forum.
