right, it looks like the megane is going, and this will be its replacement...

it's the 1.9 multijet diesel sporting variant (top of the range at the mo) it will more than likely be black.

celtic tuning are offering a remap that will take the output from 130bhp to 190bhp!!! and the torque jumps from 207lb/ft to 303lb/ft... is that safe? seems a huuuge gain to me!!! Matt or Paul or anyone, can you shed some light on the matter please, if you can buddy i would very much appreciate it!!

what would running this kind of power through the car do to it? would it harm it in anyway? would i need to change anything? try and better the air flow to the turbo/air filter?

also, it has a 0-60 time of 9.5 seconds when standard, what would 190bhp/303lb/ft reduce this by? a seconds roughly? or more? or less?

can you smell cluth burning? ;)

I guess it depends where they source the parts for the transmission, if its all from another car in the range with a similar power figure you should be ok.
