superchips
I spoke to a chap at the Autoshow about this. He had a graph for a regular 182. Not much power increase, just a smidge, but a much smoother graph, more torque. They can change the rev limit too. He said you can try for a week for free, take it back if you don't like it. I'll dig out the details later.
I would suggest looking at one of the Remaps which BB Tuning, Yozzasport etc do.
This is a much better option than a super chip and works out at the same price.
Have a word with Nik he has just had the Group N ECU Upgrade done. From what i have heard the difference is very noticable.

Nik any and all info would be much appreciated, I heard about the possibility of doing this but haven't yet investiagted properly. One of the technicians I talked to about this was getting 198bhp from his 172, 15% approx more seemed quite a good return; not sure about effect on torque though.
we have had both our cars chipped V6 got more from it than 172
was the best thing we did tho

Hillpower specialise in the Clio and apparently do custom re-maps. If you look at the discussions on cliosport this subject seems to raise more controversy than anything else. I would guess that ganns will be unlikely to exceed 3-4%, but if you have other modifications then you can ensure that the mapping is optimised for your set-up.
I keep hearing about superchipping/remapping. Now, I understand why a remap would be necessary to get the full benefit of some other modification but what’s the deal when applied on its own. There’s no such thing as a free lunch, otherwise the manufacturers would have that spec as standard. What are the downsides – engine life, fuel consumption, tractability, starting etc?
If done well and matched to the engine there are none. The manufacturer has to build in a safety factor for poor fuel and maintenance as well production line variances. the biggedt issue will be warranty. Some firms offer a separate warranty - not sure if this is very common in the UK

there wouldn't be many gains on a std engine i'd have thought, most people usually have at least a decat, exhaust and uprated filter first. an honest tuner would tell you to come back with more mods then the difference would be easily noticable
