Renault Megane RS Trophy

The article says this car comes from the factory with the boost set at 36psi. That is some serious OEM boost!!!

I want to know if the engine comes standard with ARP head studs???

Anyone on the other side of the pond familiar with this car?

The jump on pressure seems too high. Perhaps this is a typo.

That Renault is currently the fastest FWD hothatch car you can buy at the moment.
It even outperformed the 305bhp Ford Focus RS on the Track..

On the otherside Renaults reliability is **** poor... i remember that my first renault (and last) broke down 10 times before selling it.

I dont know how much the new models are improved but Renault isnt known for the reliability.

Is it possible the 36 psi "boost" pressure listed is actually absolute pressure? That would make the boost 'only' 22psi, which is much more believable.
