I assume that with higher power with remaps you need more boost to supress excessive smoke

I also have the suspiscion that maybe the standard map is a d5 map because after the dpf softwareupgrade (wich gave problems with loading at volvo and they used something different in the end) the car seemed to have more power with the standard software than before
I'm not 100% sure about this but I think you have to alter more than just the map to achieve the extra HP. I'm sure things like the length of the turbo's actuator rod has to be fine tuned to the map that's being used for it to produce the correct level of boost. I may be wrong but I'm sure I read about this somewhere and it wasn't as easy as just swopping the map.
