And any idea what I should offer? I am after a little project, looks like it could be fixable by buying a few parts without having to replace the whole engine.

Is that the turbo clio? If the turbo drain came off there will be minimal damage as it would have just squirted a little oil out and the driver stopped quick enough.
I am keen to know what caused it as I am gonna be getting a turbo drain hose kit from them soon...
plus with the charge cooler rad at the front of the car you will have a huge run of pipes which will act a buffer and ensure that inlet temperatures wont rise as quickly.
Do you want a second charge cooler?
lol. Test drives invited (bring a fit mate, he can push you around in it). Or better still, bring a fit female mate (and I can check her out while you check it out)...
how long does it take to go to halfords? Seriously get one.
And the one from argos doesnt go low enough iirc. Got one and its 1/2" drive, good for big old nuts and bolts.
we were just discussing the turbo vs supercharger debate and although I may be talking shite I am using thermodynamics theory as background for my ideas.
Please dont let the thread turn into a slanging match we just wanna throw some ideas out and test the theories.
SC uses just engine power and turbo scavenges power from the exhaust, turbo seems more efficient use of engine power?
just found this interesting read http://www.superchargersonline.com/content.asp?ID=19
It may account for a small %. I am sure steve172 on here gets about 250bhp with only 7psi as he has headwork too. There are many areas where improvements could be made.
