Is the increase in power much different? Do you have to drive with the traction off all the time due to it keep cutting power, or is it usable power (read the EVO review)?
I can't remove the map myself and yes, DMS would have to do it, but I know that they will come out to your house with a laptop to do this.

Clive is right when he says that you need to have a careful right foot. I'm actually very smooth with my throttle usage as my previous few cars have been lightweight Elise's and an Exige which all have very soft tyres on them. These cars in the wet would not get much traction if you just mashed the throttle to the floor, so I got used to driving with a smooth throttle application.

The 1M is no different and you do need to be smooth in the wet. In the dry it will still break traction if you're really aggressive, but once in 4th gear, I find that the traction control light doesn't really flash, even if you're aggressive.

Therefore the power is usable if you know how to drive high performance cars
