The pre-2010 cars can have the ecu re-flashed by tuners yes.

I'd not bother with a 3" exhaust tbh... RRS gone

The re-map will not totally get rid of the "pause" on the pickup from standstill... but it goes a long way towards it.

Mid range punch is the biggest gains RRS gone

Slow of the mark, try using 1st gear In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

As said above, use 1st gear by knocking it into command shift on approach to the junction or roundabout then select 1st gear Makes one hell of a difference.
