Theres plenty of bargains out there lads, rest assured I didn't pay anywhere near retail for any of my parts so the overall cost was no where near what Doms put.
The first post is more of a guide so people know what there looking for.
Figured some people my be interested in looking at the graphs in my old threads so here goes

Right chaps this isn't really a guide as such, its a complete spec list of what I've found works well on a clio. I've had tons of PM's over the last couple of years regarding Turbo clios but have always kept my true spec quite quiet, anyway here goes.

I took my completely standard Trophy...
As above really, try and get a decent magnetti marelli map sensor as I had a few issues with othe brands.
Suprisingly I didn't bother with a one way valve in the servo and never had any problems at all :S
Are you planning on running your ITBs and a turbo?
The problem is the lack of flexi section. It's a bigger problem on 172's as the "off the shelf" down pipes only have one joint with a small amount of movement, 182's use an extra pipe which introduces an extra joint with gives a little bit more flex in the system.
Personally I'd get the uprated...
Right let's solve the mystery of the JC5 128 gearbox. I ran it in my Turbo Trophy at 341bhp and 374bhp and found it considerably better than a stock 182 gear box. Does it have the best ratios? No, but I couldnt be bothered to have a custom one built and the 128 box is pretty cheap and close...
Found these as well

Just found a Fed Ex import duties bill from April last year, I ordered full ARP head studs, main studs and con rod bolts it came to a paltry $234 :) when they arrived in the UK i was billed £38.86 in import duties and handling charges.
Should give you a rough idea of what it'll all total
Negative mate, when it arrives in the UK it'll have import duties slapped on it as it passes through customs, it's nothing to do with the company you buy them from
I used those exact injectors on mine and spaced the injector rail out to accomodate them, never had any problems with them. Think they were about 70-75% duty cycle for 374bhp. Should give you plenty of scope for big power especially with you going down the VAG gearbox route.
Check the dimensions lower down the page they look as though there very close, try and grab similar measurements to see what, if any difference there is
Run a tape measure over the length of them mate, I'll ask Matt to measure his 630cc Siemen Deka long ones hopefull they'll be similar.
Heres a link to the ones I'm refering to

Cheers mate, I was at the fabricators on Sat, my tubular manifold is awesome, his workmanship is amazing :D hopefully should get it back soon :evil:
What size injector outlets are in the megane fuel rail? most injectors are interchangeable but untill you stick them in there its hard to say...
I think it is a 3 bar mate. I know how you feel about the money spending aspect mines cost a fair few pennies now....... But I'll never get rid of it :)
Regarding injectors, see if you can get a Clio Siemens injector, if it fits I'd just splash out on 630cc Dekas as you'll kick yourself if you...
Well your laughing then mate, stick a 3 bar FPR in there and grab a set of bosch injectors. Unless the Siemens dekas fit then you could just stick a set of 630cc's in there and you'll be fuelled all the way to 400bhp+
Just had a read through your project thread, looking good :)
I'll have to look at the pics on my Laptop when I get home. If it has got a supply, return and vacuum port then there's no reason not to use it. What injectors are normally used with that fuel rail, Siemens, Bosch etc...?
Grab a pic of it mate and post it up or pm me. If its got a FPR fitted to it then it should work fine. I was under the impression that you had a non return fuel rail similar to what's fitted to a 172/182 and meg 225
