Good effort mate, love it when someone sticks his fingers up at whats deemed as "the norm" and therefore the only way to do it :)

The kit they sell was the one that was developed by MBcarperformance, but I've just checked and they no longer do it. But as Darren says 0.5 of a bar should be OK for 230 bhp

I bought my turbo manifold from them and it's been spot on :)

Sounds like an unnessecary expense to me, is your turbo too close to the boot lid? and you need a tubular to move it to fit the larger unit? With you going RWD are you still using the same intercooler, intercooler pipework, injectors, air filter etc..... as you might find it easier to sell as...

It must be a big one to move away from a t25 manifold :) TBH I posted ages ago in here that it seemed such a shame to have so much space and not fit something bigger, I'll be honest though I would've just stuck a t25 spacer plate on the manifold you have to move the comp housing away form the...

How comes you've swapped manifolds?

Steve I'll ask aroud as a few people have been PM'ing me about turbo conversions. Is it the manifold or the downpipe that comes with the turbo? and is it Ktecs kit or BBPT's kit?

Re: Clio TT (172 cup) You'll probably find you weren't cornering quite as hard at Mallory with it being soaking when we were there. But as mentioned earlier try different fuel levels and a few laps of a largish roundabout, I'm sure you'll get to the bottom of it quick enough :)

Re: Clio TT (172 cup) Tbh it definatley sounds like the fuel pump isn't up to the job, when i was doing mine the info i had was the pump was only good for 240-250 bhp. On the dyno you'll probably find that you were only doing short stints of wide open throttle where as out on the road your...

Well it's nice to see this thread back on track and everyone back to a positive note. John nobody's bumming anyone (except you ;)) and I've always had a pretty good relationship with Ktec remember I was the first person to volunteer his car as a test bed for there LPT conversion, and I also...

I think your predictive text is malfunctioning and you meant to write "that awesome bike"

I was there but only late on, I'm not gonna lie to you either, but I easily had the fastest thing there ;)

Cheers Danny glad you liked it. :) Mez basically the outcome was Ktec have put there hands up and admitted that the dyno figures are indeed inflated due to the accidental placement of the probe. David assures me it's never happend before and I'm pretty certain it will never happen again after...

Tom cruise has a bike called Vyrus, which is something similar to the tesi

Well thank you for agreeing with me David, even if it is only in the interests of this thread not going off on a tangent. At the end of the day Ktec is a massive tuning company, and some people will believe everything you say with out question. All this thread has shown is that you also make...

Well here we go again. Of course the engine ECU will see an intake temperature increase, especially in a forced induction set up, as obviously the air is compressed. However its the IT that the Dynometer is seeing which is causing the issues. By introducing a high IT the dynometer calculates...

Feel free to prove me wrong with your findings. Steve

As I said in my last post I'm happy to just leave it at that, I'll be honest though, I feel the issues are being brushed over, the fact that the inlets are so high (in the eyes of the dynometer) is going to have a dramatic effect. I've also sent a few emails off myself just to see how honest...

Cheers for the quick response guys, and it's nice to see a clear and concise comment regarding the issue. The real reason I posted this up is I felt Darren was being taken for a ride and that it's simply impossible for it to run that much power on the same set up as what I had last year...

I was just comparing DMS' graphs against mine from june as his initial power/torque surge is monstrous and his torque figures whup my measley 317lb/ft. ;) Anyway as I see it there have been four clios turbocharged in the last year or so. Mine, RyanK's,DMS' and Butch's All 4 ran the same...

Well I still think it's hats off everyone as the turbo kits have really moved on massively in the last year, I'd say it's also came to the point where they've stole the spot light back from superchargers (which have gone quite quiet lately). Now that I've proven the car reliable on track...

Strange as mine was handling the power fine at Mallory on Sat? Probably the brutal power delivery causing the problem, try pulling a little bit of boost in the lower rev range to give it a smoother delivery ;)

Not at all mate, and the MK1 lads will back me up, I was getting some awesome traction considering the power and conditions and managed to spank the 4wd brigade when exiting the bends :D most people there were quite impressed by it and it won "best car of the show, post 1991"

What you talking about? yours is that low when stationary ;)

If it was that easy everyone would be doing it LOL

Heres what 341bhp does to your rear suspension on full boost in third gear LOL And heres a link to the rest of the photos Penfold took http://s255.photobucket.com/albums/hh149/sexychrissmith/RTOC%20ND%202010/

Yeah, it'll definatley fly in the dry. Don't think we crossed paths on track Jord but if you come across any footage of me a heads up would be much appreciated. Whilst I was slow to find my feet in the morning by mid afternoon I felt as though I'd got to grips with both the track and the car and...

Great Vid Jord, I took Andys car out for a few laps and can confirm it was an animal, loved wheel spinning past people in 5th gear LOL

Excellent results there lads, well done. Had mine at Mallory on Sat and despite the track being soaking wet managed to get the power down no problems, definatley think they could handle more :) Surprised you got that much power out of a GT28R as the one I had was dog poo and wouldn't flow...

In fact I think its a conversion for a mark 1 clio as it states its for 1.8 16V and 2.0 16V
