To date I have not read anything to suggest that getting any power gains out of this engine is worth paying for. Those that have (the utmost respect for) have had a number of nose bleeds and very deep pockets. We are taking £££££ for 25 -30 bhp. Yes, another "I need more power" thread from me....
This is the single most frustrating thing with this brill car. To make the most of it, you have to drive it hard and fast..and very illegally. The power is too far up the rev range to do anything else.
For me the megane 230 will be my next option. No where near the clio for looks but ticks the boxes, great diff, handles well, tune'able, more space, better on fuel(ish).....why put 5 grand in a clio when 10 grand buys you a 230 Meg, with change for remap and bigger intercooler, exhaust and 300 bhp......Food for thought!!!!!
