Can't help with any info on the conversion, but before going the 225 route have a word with Chip-mk1 on here about his Turbo PH1

As I say I'm not clued up on the 225 conversion other than I'm aware there are a few fitment issues with the gearbox that have to be addressed.

Boost can work very well, Chips clio is running a PH1 engine with 197 inlets and is making very good power.

Another member who might be worth chatting to is Laine who has just done his cup.

Ok thanks mate I see the block needs to b sorted to fit the box but if that's the only headache then surely it's all good, iv been looking and u can get a whole 225 engine running for 1500 that's cheaper then just the bottom end build
