Any decent remap will be better than a chip and not that much more, I got my D3 remapped at a garage I trust and that was £195, and goes to 200bhp, map is brilliant transformed my C30, and not massive amount of black smoke on full throttle.
Was that a polestar remap? I thought only Volvo had access to the software. I agree that you shouldn't mess around with chips. More trouble than they are worth. I knew a bloke who had his Volvo 2.5T engine's liners split after getting it chipped.
