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.

They are not getting 235 to 240 just out of a remap they are upgrading intercooler and giving you a hi flow cat to get these figures. Cars with these mods without a remap are seeing 210 on dynos, but i agree that heat is this engines worst trait. I mean a stock car can fry eggs on its bonnet after a shortish run!
