Glad im not the only one! Yeah £4200ish for ktecs kit i got quoted when i last went down there (then petrol and staying down there closer to 4500) and £3100 for ED which are close so not much extra, i know which id rarther pay. Reading up on the ED kit and talking to some people with it to see...

Yeah i will be taking that route unfortuantly, wish i could do it myself. I will have to ask around alot more then and see what people say. Cheers

Yeah, id have to get them to fit it, shall have to look into it alot more.

I looked at ED but i am not experainced enough or know enough to be changing things, other than ktec im not sure where to look. Unless ED would put an aftermarket on then that might change things. From what ive read a piggyback isnt very good to be running for long term.

Yeah agreed, to many bodge jobs out there, i cant afford to have my daily off the road every other week like my mates turbos are lol. If we save up for what we want then it would make it even sweeter when we do get it.

Most of my drive home is B roads because i prefer them to A roads, but would like some extra power for the dual carriageways i do use. 300bhp is just wild in a clio, 250 will do me.

Ok i guess thats true, i have been looking at ktecs low boost on standard 97k old internals, id consider forging or replacing the internals if needs be too. Whatever makes it as reliable as possible tbh. 30k would be plenty in my view befor a rebuild.

Yeah i wish it was sooner, but im not going to rush into it and get a cheap kit, want to do it properly, prolly save money in the long term. You will be more than welcome for a ride anytime :)

I should imagen it does :D

Ahh Chip hey, ive read alot of your posts about turbos, all very helpfull ive found. How long do they last befor a rebuild is in order on average?? And i assume it will be expencive. Yeah almost every sport hatch is turbo now, but i would expect they are built to handle it for daily purpose...

Yeah Euan your right, but unfortunatly it wont be til next year when i can afford it, im not just saying it for fun, it will be done no matter how long it takes me to get it, thats how i got my 182, took 3 years to get her :) Ive spend endless hours looking into it and talking to people with...

This is all pretty positive :) Id like to be running around the 250 mark aslo, nice to see people use them daily. I cant imagen 250 could get boring at all

Lol Scott... That would be good to see, i can show you something too hopefully next month, but that would mean all standing around the engine with the bonnet up like the chavs do in asda car park haha

I think i could cope a few days without it for work if something went wrong, which system do you have if u dont mind me asking??

Ok cheers have fun with 300bhp :). Just trying to establish wether they are a good daily, i do about 15k a year so want to be sure before i part with my cash.

That makes sence, still a nice car tbh. Thankfully the chavs have chaged their rides to Seats and 1.4 Corsa's with the blackd windows and wheels it seems :)

Haha id like to see that aswell. A mx-5 is cheaper?? Thought a rwd sporty lil roadster would be worse than a clio to insure lol

Hey, ive been looing around for answers but not much luck so il risk the abuse and just ask. Do many of you which have turbod 1*2's use them as a daily??? And what setup are you running??

Well small is good as i know none of you apart from Euan so can get to know ya a bit :) Monthly is a good ide.

Alright good good, to old for meets!? Its not like were racing around a carpark all night long.

Welcome, have fun is the main thing :)

Alright then, that sounds like a plan to me im up for once a month, il cyall thrusday unless something gets posted on here stating otherwise :)

Dont love it but dont hate it either, its different, not to sure wether thats good or bad :D

Id be eating too then, if not il get come chips or sumin :) Is it that busy??? Im assuming were talking about the same place, the one just off the 421? Thought it was already open aswell.

Sounds good to me, we still talking brewers fayre? If so will ya be eating?? I dont wana b the plank who isnt eating or is eating etc lol Gus20516v scaryopa

I often see a Black Gold 182 drive past my house, my AB 182 is normall parked outside mine, just wondered if was anyone on here???

im up for something this week :) any night apart from tuesday or the misses will kill me, she can only cope with a car meet once a month XD

Sounds pretty good, hopefully this year will be someting similar :) was it every wednesday??

Never been to the ski lake but looks big enough :) cant wait for the summer meets that arnt actually raining/snowing/cold :D

Just got home from picking this up after a good polish, i must say i am impressed with it and it only took 2 hours! :) Will have it in the bay pretty soon i hope aswell as the Fuel rail Guard. Cooksports also going to be ordered when in stock, and a new style RS badge too.
