There really is alot to making it driveable and economical, much more than fitting Megasquirt (for example) and doing a road map. My ECU is fantastic for off-boost control and we map it extremely carefully.
In the short amount of time it spent on the road last year before this latest phase of changes, I was seeing 200-250 miles to a tank for mixed driving (mainly sensible, but some 'spirited driving'). My 1.4 Clio only does a little more than that.

I don't understand what you have against MS when you sell VEMS which is very very similar and is only really a slightly different development of MS.

me to mart 
I like the ways yours went last time I was in it when it was 260+, will be asking Karl for similar..but a bit more
, I want a go in pagey’s for comparison as well
Not meaning to sound funny in anyway – though having been in a few RST’s with over 250bhp, I;m not sure I would want one with much more for normal/daily use, you wouldn’t get much chance to use it to it’s full potential on normal roads and they are a bit lairy when they do stretch their legs

if you want an idea of what u need for a reliable 350bhp and everything else you need that can take that power and still handle well then check out luca's fiesta resto thread, it will give u an idea of how much actually needs to be done to make a 350 bhp fwd car handle and be reliable, have a good read through the whole thread and u will see that u wont have to spend as much as luke has but u will have to spend more than a couple of grand and how involved it will be, if u have any questions just pm him and he will be happy to answer them for you

I'm sure Christian would be have been aware thet MS and VEMS are very closley related and that promoting one at the same time as slating the other would look a bit silly.
