I must say having been driving on over the last couple of weeks, its plenty pokey enough.
If you want to mod it you will have to purchase a new ECU and then Pete can wave his magic over it, you will have to put the original back in before visiting the dealer. "you cannot teach stupid people to do clever things"

Being serious now, mine goes very swiftly wouldn't want it to go much faster to be honest. The Gearbox felt much more relaxed in my old D3. The D4 seems to always want to step down and "march on".... I like the extra oomph especially when overtaking it seriously can move ... I just think chipping may stress the gearbox etc and there's no need now it is so much quicker... And may invalidate the warranty!

Probably not much as it aint got a turbo "UNDERSTEER" ---is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" -is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" ------------is how far you take the fence with you.
