  1. Has anyone else noticed the stock intercoolers on stage 1 megane rs are terrible in traffic and when it goes above 17c
    I have just ordered a 17 row 60mm type to try and cure it
    You can tell straight away when its a warm day as the power loss is noticeable
    I have only owned the car since beginning of decso thought it was fine but now its warming up it struggles
     
  2. Yup the std unit is cack, cant cope at all. I had a 60mm cooler and even on track it intake barely went a few deg over ambient, well worth it
     
  3. Fully agree matty
    A very weak point on the Rs megane
    I read it's the same as the 1.9 diesel 130 bhp
    Joke really
     
  4. Production costs and R&D are sometimes on an opposite way... specificly with Renault. even if i love these cars, honnestly some parts really sucks. Look at the OEM intercooler of a mrs3. This is not a powerfull part, same on 1.5 Dci...
     
  5. If you have a stage 1 map on your car already and then go for an uprated intecooler, do you need it remapped again?
     
  6. No should be fine, the IAT sensor should correct for the cooler air
     
  7. Thank you. :smile:
     
  8. No worries fella, always glad to help!
     
  9. Thanks for all the answers guys
