Re: Stage 1 Remapping questions
Not had a Renault done but have had a few others mapped and yes, fuel economy usually improves as mapping smooths out the delivery and reduces overfuelling.
It also makes the car a lot smoother to drive and usually improves responsiveness.

Don't forget to factor in that your insurance may go up and any warranty you have may be affected.

Don't forget another thing also... I am no sure if it has sodium-filled exhaust valves, which were added to RS 250.

What difference would that make to remapping?

I am in South Wales.. Between Swansea and Cardiff
I've had one quote from a local company for about £250
But that's without the rolling road print out too

Re: Stage 1 Remapping questions

99% of people will recomend RS tuning in Leeds or Ktec down in Dorset!
and most of the people who own these cars advise against using anyone else haha!
