no idea Jack, he's not given me any ideas to what it is, I'm sure he'll explain in due course but I wont have a fookin clue what any of it means tbh, he's far too tech for me even when dumbing things down lol.
tbh as far as Clio's go I've done the cams thing (BenR did these) and was over the moon with the performance, just ask the people that drove it how much of a freak it was with a chip wizards chip on it! That was the first (what I consider anyway) major mod I had I dont regret doing it as the car was insane, torque and power was more than just obvious lol. Now however I've become greedy, partly BenR's fault again after seeing when he built the white clio on ITB's for my mate Clean16v (doesn't come on here at all these days). It wasn't even the performance tbh, it was the noise more than anything, the fact it used to completely piss all over our mate Glen's 300+bhp Audi TT was just a bonus.
Put it this way, I love Clio's for the all round ability and love nothing more than a car that handles well and punches above it's weight and tbh I'll prolly end up with another one even though I try to convince myself otherwise, but when the bridge needs to be crossed and if I do decide to get another I'll be asking Andy to remove the ITB's and all the gubbins off mine to go on the new one as I'm addicted to them. That was the reason I was looking at E36 M3's for so long, all come with ITB's and they are known for being one of the best sounding NA engines you can get... never found a good one, so next it would be an E39 M5 or ITB's on another Clio... or the money though I can have a Clio that out accelerated the BMW, okay, it's not as good a car, but for doing a 12 mile daily commute the Clio is reliable, easy to drive, quiet when it wants to be and returns better MPG than a stock/lightly modded 172. Just for pure bragging purposes I went to see Andy GDI on saturday and drove back and used 1 notch under half a tank for 186 miles exactly... that to me is just incredible... so tuning these engines even lightly does make a difference, you cant always feel it but put it side by side with another RS model and you start to realise how quick they are.
Sorry for the massive post, I just can't describe enough how good ITB's are, save for the handling and looks the engine alone makes this the best most fun car I have had or driven (drive Scooby's a fair bit), all it now needs is to handle as well as the Williams, but that's never going to happen
