There claims are hardly out of this world, as Hamann and AC Schnitzer are selling 230bhp conversions and these are done only with an up-rated intercooler and cat back systems.

235-240 now, as i said i'm not saying they are out of this world. I am saying should you be stressing an already wellworked 1.6 even further.

Lets remember the R56 1.6 Turbo is nothing like the old R53. The R53 was powerful but with a really badly designed engine. Where as the the 1.6 turbo is a well built and designed engine which is closer to its limits than the R53 ever was. So to expect tot get 235 to 240 out of it with just a remap is ludicrous. Longevity is the name of the game and as we knwo from Peugeot Sports testing in the past Heat is the enemy of this engine. Turn the boost up and the heat troubles the car.
