It is obvious that a remap or box will stress the entire car more
But when a standard car is driven to the limit it is also more stressed than when driven quietly...
Apart from that I can only advise you NOT to use an plug an play box... The problem with these boxes is that it alters the information received from different sensors and changes the feedback to the engine computer. This is however a very bad thing for the engine.
A remap of the engine computer is just altering the scheme and getting more out of the engine, but based on the CORRECT information.
I'm personally considering a tune by AutoTuneHeinz from BE witch puts the 3.0d to 280 a 285 bhp and 620 Nm. Plus they will put the car on a test bank to determine the initial figures and do a re-run after upgrade to get the final figures!
As a part of warranty you just don't mention it to your dealer and in case they reset and reload the car, you get a free new tune at that provider... After that you ask to your dealer what they did to your car and not to do it again (say that it handled totally different and not as good as before) without mentioning the tune.
