nice work :)

surely the garage could remove it, get one made, and refit it? You'd still save £200! cancel, cancel, cancel lol

yeah they can be heavy due to high ratio, doesnt mean it cant be done though! depends alot on the tyres.

should have just got one made by a hydraulics place!!!

Why cant you? Ive done it a few times on various clios without issue.

On the mk1's i like to put proper unions on the fuel rails, looks alot more "motorsport"!

cant beat -6 anodised unions and braided lines imo!

Flow (and reversal of it) or more important on turbocharger headers yes, pulse tuning can be used though to reduce lag. Not sure what you mean about the pulsing in inlet and machining smooth?

4-1 will typically yield a better figure at a specific rpm (or close group of rpm's), usually set as the point of peak power. This engine speed will depend on length. 4-2-1 will typically yield a gain over a much wider spread. Its all down to length, and how that effects pulse tuning...

or a bust brake line, or pas pipes, or dry sump oil pipe.

Well the advantage gained there is far outweighed by the ball ache of fitting it with the engine in the car! in my opinion anyway..

Any hydraulics place will make a pipe up for about £30. I had the main one made for my kangoo van for that.

Its not worth hassle. Ive fitted a couple, and you cant notice sod all when driving.

depends which is burst. some are flexi and solid swaged together. these are quite pricey from renault. Would likely work out cheap for you to just get a flexi section made up by the likes of Pirtek. Whereabouts in S.Wales are you?

Yes, its a similar oil...ATF is often used.

Check hoses for splits.

Cant remember of the top of my head. Cools better than std, and its light as hell. I'll put some pics up of the fan mounts. proper job, not bolts through the fins or owt daft!

aluminium bungs. not fitted there as you spotted...was the last bits I was waiting on!

This is using a short rad kit ive put together for the Mk1 Clios. All cnc'd fan brackets and mounts. The Mk2 version will be available in about 3 weeks if your still stuck then. Retail is £250+vat (inc fan and fittings).

I see, I thought you meant a fabricated aluminium one. Well he bought that for £73 delivered of the net. I bet motor factors price wouldnt be much different.

well given the std ones like to go pop after about 40k, its anyones guess! could be the perfect excuse for a bigger/better turbo though!

Your OE chocolate turbo will love that!

nope. you can get them made for about £400. why do you need one exactly?

The 6spd boxes arent exactly great!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL..."couple of lads doing this mainly in their spare time".

aye, theres a metal flange which goes into the rubber seal.

I think a company called Alucraft made mine.

put it in some boiling water and see if it opens. or for the sake of a couple of quid, just bung a new one in.

Water on its own wont make it overheat. The thermostat is probably fubared, and not opening. I'd fluch the cooling system while your at it.

All I can suggest, is that if there are other clio's running the same turbo orientated spec/set-up, with more engine output, then you find out why yours is less as seamingly there is a problem with your car. But as for a comparison between yours and a SC set-up, theres numerous reasons for...
