For Rsport details try www.renaultsport.co.uk. I think it's their phone number you can get and they post you the details. Someone on that site will tell you if no one can here.

Market leader? Maybe by volume sales, on pure virtue that they are a huge franchise in comparison to tuning companies. Market leader, because they are a franchise, because they advertise in every magazine weekly, because they churn out generic graphs quoting that the kid with his Nova SR can juice 12bhp from his car - people love to think that's the case.
Using your rationale of "market leader is king" then McDonalds also make the best food, using the tastiest ingredients across the land, and because they advertise and have been around since the 80's they MUST be good!
Now im sure your aware (i hope) that in fact McDonalds is fking awful food, and that better food and service can be found by walking down any highstreet in the country to a proper food outlet.
My point is clear, they are not the best and they never will be. They do however sell lots of chips, because like McDonalds people know of them, and they're convenient. Make them the best? No. Jack of all, master of none springs to mind.
Oh and as for the VW motorsport, do you REALLY think that because they sponser these events that it's because they're the best? They sponser them because they have a sh1t load more cash than any other tuning company, and can throw cash at the contract and outbid anybody. Then because people like you see their spiel, they naturally assume they must be the best, that their claims and graphs are also spot on....woeeeii another sale.
Yozzasport/GDI/Angelworks/Hillpower/RS-Tuning - All will provide a more personal service along with better performance.

Superchips/ GroupN / Pmurray /BBPT are all 'generic' maps.... just like the car came with a generic map. Only the upgraded generic maps are tuned towards performance rather than an overall compromise like the standard map.
Doesn't mean they are bad. In fact, the generic maps are tried and tested and if you've got a standard-ish car I can't see how a full custom map for you car is going to make that much difference to a 2.0 NA...... If you have cams, bodies etc then sure... but an induction kit and an exhaust... not so sure.

Maybe in your opinion but where is the proof or factual evidence?
Superchips might not be as you claim to be the best but I find coming out with comments that "Superchip are poo" dosen't help anyone make a desision as to what product to use/buy.
I haven't made my mind up yet as to which product to use, and many people have actually said to me get the Renaultsport Group'n' ECU as above - but Renault never made one for the 182!
I believe the best chip / programmer should not just produce the highest peak power but also have a nice compromise against power & torque and just as important remove any flat spots etc. Most companies claim up to 10% increase but this does not mean 10% more peak power as it could be anywhere along the rev range.
Dude, try www.fastchip.nl - They have a grpN programme for the 182...

Basically what im saying is, don't fall for their bull, anybody can post graphs from tweaked dyno's. Personally i'd be going for a Group N, or Rsport remap from someone like RS-Tuning at £275. Solid results posted by users who appreciate drivability.
I understand saying superchips are poo, is not extremely helpful which is why i felt the need to, in your words "waffel" about why they are pap.
Go for a Clio tuning company, all the advice under the sun and a good product on top.

This might be true but that would mean I`m very lucky...I got a new engine 10k miles ago and it is pretty much just as fast as the old one. I agree with Lager that it is a fantasic mod but I do have quite afew flat spots that I reckon a remap would sort. Not bothereing getting cams as it is /will be quick enough without spending a fortune on it...

Ozzy, do you have any proof that Superchips are pants other than what you have read? At the end of the day i can't see why a Superchips remap (which come with a warranty) would be any worse than any other 'off the shelf' remap.
The guy referred to Sanspeed, who are a well known and he mentioned they are customising the map for him, so what is poo about that?
It's all very easy to wade in on a company when you know nothing bad will happen to you... Can you really blame Superchips for making a song and dance about the best results they get? Unless you can categorically prove they are liars then maybe it's wise not to **** them off.
With the power of the internet, a company's reputation can be written off in days. I know Superchips seems big and faceless but just remember behind any company there is people, and families, and mouths to feed. Slate when you have proof by all means, but otherwise, shut it!

Yeh Geoff off here works for Superchips.
Basically IMO the brand suffers because it's too big. It's luck of the draw whether you get some monkey fit it for you, or whether your area has a decent reputation for fitting.
There was a guy on here who had a SC fitted to a 182. Was something like 6bhp he gained, and they quote 10bhp. Personally just their over estimations of their chips capability annoys me.
I've no doubt the torque curve is better than OE format. But personally I wouldn't be throwing my money at SC, i'd be taking it to Angelworks.
As for telling me to "shut it!" Cliobuyer, lmfao.
