    Do I buy another Clio?!

    Could you fit the 1.2 turbo engine into a 2001 1.2 16v?

    ive never done it but id imagine easy enough, depends how confident you are. personally id buy the turbo if the TCE, get a custom manifold made with a decat to mount the turbo, run the TCE inlet manifold if it fits, id imagine it does. along with the TCE intercooler and pipework. have it...
