Hello and welcome aaronw16v, electric problems and water ingress issues are two top things to watch out for, plenty of posts about them and other issues in the problems section.

Enjoy your new ride and I'm looking forward to seeing the pics 8-)

I have the 2.75 miltec with a ktec decat. Sounds well, and frees the turbo up quite a bit.

A stage one map is a must. Its the way it should have left the factory.

Are you a member of meganesport.net?

Good luck

Take a trip to RS tunning in Leeds if you can.

Paul will sort you out, its done live on the dyno for the best results.

I got mine there before I came back to NI. The car has run like a dream ever since.

If you can't go to www.fastchips.nl . Henk will provide you with a remote box and a calibration map for the car. You upload it via laptop. (He only tunes Reno sports and has done it for years) its the next best option if you can't get to Leeds.
