lol I didn't say coilovers. You can have a nice ride with insanely better handling with just a spring/strut combo and some sway bars. :D :p |

sweet! it's funny how the pose looks the same :D
i'm sure you got some more power I only have 100hp in mine but it's economic which is important with the $10/gallon (€1.65/liter) prices here. :) |

Yeah the petrol is a killer here too, the megane is 225bhp standard, I have no work done too it yet, induction kit and exhaust to come soon, might add another 10bhp at most. |

Yeah, at most. Are you doing a full airbox replacement, or one that is contained within the airbox? If you keep the airbox, ti will actually keep the low end torque instead of killing it. |

| Sweet car man. I bought an '08 altima sedan myself about 6 months ago. |

Hi, yes, full induction kit, probably k&n, and exhaust system from cat back (Scorpion) , maybe dump valve although they are a little played out now.
I tend not to read reported bhp gains from k&n and the likes, they are unrealistic, a 10bhp gain from the exhaust and k&n would be decent enough, its more for a bitta noise though, although the 225 goes well it is still quite silent, some turbo noise just :rolleyes: |

Get a turbo-back exhaust instead. They sound better and yield better gains. Also, dump or BOV valves, are only useful if you are changing the psi numbers that you are currently running. Otherwise, don't bother until you do. |

No the dump valve was just for fun and sound, I know there would be no performance gain.
I will not work at the turbo itself, shes under warranty still :) I will only be fitting parts that I can bolt back off without a trace :) |

You won't void your warranty. Changing the EXHAUST from the turbo-back, hence "turbo-back exhaust", is untraceable. You can replace it with your factory exhaust just as it came without worry.
Just to make sure you understand, the turbo is not touched, other than to attach the exhaust bolts. The factory turbo is left alone. |
