:amazed: yes , you guis are right and i think i`m right to about the heat from the engine. i did a little test and opened my engine dor after some kilometers and the filter box was rly hot...A open air induction kit may not be the answer.I rly like the idea about fitting the cone filter in the old filter box , i wonder if it is posible ... tomorow i`m going at my renault dealer and i`l have a discution with my mecanic with the instal shet in front of us.
@pgarner -The kn protective box costs about 40e(not much) but i didn`t find one specialy for megane...still searching.
@waynne - My turbo ... is more like a little turbo toy (megane 2.0T is the only turbo engine @ renault) so the stock intercooler is more then fit to do the job ...i thught about changing the intercooler but i don`t think it helps much. and the exahaus wrap is a gr8 idea but i`m going to wait until i change the stock one with a high performance one.(having truble finding a good one).
About remap...I`m living in Romania and the remap rly suks here. I`m having truble in finding some one who has a good soft-program for my vehicle..most of them are remap`ing 1.9 dci and 1.5 disel engines. I spoke with one subaru engenier and he sugested that we modify the air intake in the turbo so that it wil work in about 1.0 bar(0.6-0.7stock) and adding a boost control kitt.
Next week my rims and suspension kit must arive and i`m hopeing that by then i wil resolve the sport filter problem. i wil post pictures with all the mods made.
