Chip always said to me that to get 300bhp AND do supporting mods (diff, brakes, suspension etc etc) you need to be thinking around the £10k mark.
Obviously it can be done cheaper than that - but it's not a million miles off!
I used the standard gearbox for approx 5000 miles with no problems.
However, as I plan to keep mine for a long time I have gone for an 02m conversion. Unfortunately this will cost you not far off the price of the turbo conversion!
Yes, there will have still been oil in it. Since you put two litres in and its now full, there must have been!
Have you considered taking it to Andy? (Clioturbo) He is the chap that's done mine and I couldn't recommend him enough - he has been amazing and I am sure he would be willing to check...
It's come on to warn you that the engine oil level is below 'minimum' which you have confirmed on the dipstick.
You really haven't had the best time with it have you.... Where are you based mate?
