Whatever that option is, is it at risk of being overwritten when the car goes for service and the usual software updates the dealer may do?
Thanks in advance
Dave.

There were 2 types of d3 I think, a 4 pot and a 5 pot. The d4 vea engine is a 4 pot with twin turbos on it, a small low pressure turbo and a larger turbo for higher up the Rev range. I also think there may have been a 5 pot d4 early on but not 100% sure on that.The d3 5 pot is a single turbo and should map up to around the 180 mark with plenty more torque.
I had a 5pot d3 in a v60 and was mapped which made it feel very responsive. I now have a d4 vea 4 pot in a v40 and it’s a very different car, much quicker and smoother.
