A little digging through the scrap pile saw me with enough bits to wrap up the boost hoses and breather pipe work. Just need the pressure reference for the n75 valve and we are good to go Pics in no particular order

Hoping for wider spread of power, also there are off the shelf upgrade turbos available. Id expect it to still tap out the standard HPFP, so will change that out and see what "fuel" is available on the dyno. Even if the turbo doesn't flow enough for big numbers (circa 320/330bhp on the meg 4?)...

It was 32 degrees today, I know lets work on the car........ Long gruelling day with the heat but the bulk of the work is done. I did need to bust out the angle grinder at one point but a decent enough job. Out with the OEM exhaust manifold and hybrid turbo and back in with the Meg 280 RS...

If I go ahead with this, my hybrid setup would be available....

A little tinkering as always, this may not amount to much but we will see.... So I got hold of a Meg 4 RS 280 twin scroll turbo and manifold. The 1.8 is basically a stroked 1.6 engine from what I can tell. Anyway the thought process here, twin scroll gives quicker spool and wider spread of...

Map tweak and tcu flash booked for the 22nd....

Spotted Stonehouse Friday 27th June

With the Clio being mildly annoying I've not actually gotten any further with the turbo build for this, the 8 being used a sthe reliable daily. With the ehat we've had it has been like driving a green house but still plenty of smiles and miles. One of the blokes from work lad asked if I'd give...

I've had a little look around but haven't come up with anything, may just have to slap some upgrades on and make it a worthwhile trip to EFI :D
