Another issue is, is 450+ Nm a good idea on a FWD car? How would the torque steer be?
Can you link to a few as I'm having trouble finding any forums.

I have the tune in my TDCi Kuga.
It transforms the way the car drives. You lose the, hit the pedal and wait moments, it just goes. My econ around town was 7.1-7.3L/100 before the tune and now 7.3-7.4L/100 after. I'm heading on a road trip so it's going to be interesting to see what i can get.
Re the gearbox, just have them serviced.
