Toying with a summer fling in a R26.R

With it being a turbo, I'd imagine it's fairly cheap to extract more power. I can't find any information online about remaps, uprated intercoolers etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction. 300bhp and 1220kg would make things interesting.

Superchips.co.uk do a chip tune for the newer 250 - £455 gets you to 302bhp/273 lb ft...pg.69 of this weeks Autocar mag....not a Megane expert but would have thought not a lot diff between last gen R26R and new 250...BF

Update - seems there is...£399 on a R26R gets you 260bhp and an extra 35lb ft...not a bad start though...BF

Meganesport.net would be the best place to start, I think it's going to take more than an intercooler and remap to get 300 out of an R26R though.

Edit: I think best person to talk to would be Paul at RS Tuning, I believe he had his R26 up to 320 before the engine exploded, he should know what it'll take to get 300.

300 in the 250 cup is easy though so not sure what the difference is between the engine in the R26 and the 250s.

RS Tuning in Leeds is the place to go, they've done more meganes than most, last time I looked £400 gets you stage 1 map, and £1000 gets you an upgraded intercooler and stage 2 map
