    Better straight line speed?

    Was there not some issue with the Rotex chargers blowing seals on the Clio's? Something about mounting the brackets in a different way. Has this problem all been ironed out now?

    where to get cams done?

    You don't need valves and springs. I got mine done at Renault (years back) as it worked out cheaper when adding up the petrol costs on top of the work.

    Hate science in mechanics. Most of the quickest cars in the country are made by folk who never go near a computer or a university course.

    Cams for turbo engine question

    Sorry yeah its a .48 housing although i thought that was a T34. Looks like a T34 compressor housing anyway as the actuator bracket is part of the housing unlike the T3. I bought the OFAB chip from the lad with the blue mk2 Fiesta. He was running a Ian Howell exhaust cam and getting some...

    Little bit of insulating tape stuck behind the instrument panel where the light shines up through is all you need. Totally hidden, stops the light and is FREE! 2nd lambda plug method still brought my light on

    Exhaust Manifold spring + bolt

    Yeah as above. If the spring(s) are fine just use a heavy duty bolt and nut, maybe some thread lock too. I did this roughly 5 years back and never had a problem since. Stock bolts with the Ren kit are junk and promote wear of the gasket because they don't go tight enough and move 'too' much
