Default Engine Tuning P400

Has anyone tuned the P400 Defender engine?

Seen some kits out there talking about 500hp, but not seen anyone who had done it yet

lf it's a turbocharged petrol motor it should be possible to increase the power by around 20% with a straightforward remap.

These are being offered now in the U.K. so l am sure someone in the USA will be offering it.

In Germany, Manhart does an engine tuning for the P400. It has very good reviews.
the result is over 500 hp.
