I have had my megane a year and a bit now.
Its had 3 maps , 2 radiators , 1 uprated intercooler , one decat pipe ( 3 inch work of art - not often you can say that . ) center box chop, and a panel filter
Started off with a generic map - 230.1 bhp and 250ft ib running at <10AFR on WOT. Dangerous. This was with the panel filter and center box chop
Had Paul @ RS Tuning remap it and got 253.9 and 275ft ib. I swore this was the end of my tuning on the R26
I then had my injectors ultrasonically cleaned, installed a aftermarket intercooler. I needed a service , and belt change ( did it a year early for peace of mind ) and decided to get a 3 inch decat installed at the same time. This would require a further remap to optimise the decat.
I requested if Paul could map in pops , bangs and flames. He wasnt sure - but to his credit spent a fair while mapping and tweaking. It pushed comfortably over 300ftib but common knowledge is the rods are weak and will banana. It has been pegged to 300ftib now.
End result , 273.2 BHP and 300ibft(capped) with a near verticle torque curve low down.
I now need a new clutch ( a helix SMF is going in if anyone has any helix contacts ? ) and new eardrums. It sounds much , much better in the flesh , and the pops / bangs are felts as well as heard !
