Megane 225 BHP Tech and Tuning Advice Please

[Warrender]

Hi im looking for some tuning advice and wondering what mods people are doing to 225s for increased power. Having a look around there doesn't seem to be many highly tuned meganes about. Obviously lots of horsies and front wheel drive arent ideal but thats never stoped anyone . haha

Im hoping for 285BHP out of my Trophy with a bit of tinkering. I realise this isnt anywhere near big power but should be a nice low-lag compromise (plus-much above that and the worlds smallest turbo and narrowest throttle body/inlet plenum that renault kindly provide would have to go the journey). My thoughts being re-map, exhaust, de-cat, filter, larger intercooler (in the post as i write) and hard pipe kit (renault should be shot for the standard boost hoses on the megane).

Has anyone tried this combo or any parts there of?

Can anyone recommend a re-map?

Any idea of what power the engine will take without notable strengthening or machining? (just incase )

Is the 225 turbo lump the same as that used in the later 172s (cup etc) - same engine code (except for the T ). Does it have low comp internals or have they kept NA pistons and run low boost (as rover did with the 220 Turbos)?

Is anyone running the larger inlet manifold from the NA version of this engine, on a 225?

Anyone know of any other strengthening or uprating between the NA and Turbo versions of the engine?

Also does anyone know of any problems arising if the CAT is taken out of a 225 (service lights, misfire, over/underfueling etc)

Any and all help very greatly recieved.
