Are you drunk?

^Lol

Save your money imo

 

[Jekyll]

The wording in the OP doesn't make full sense! Going turbo or air are 2 completely different things!

 

[Dan@SJM]

FLOL. It's like saying, after Christmas, I'm either going swimming or sky diving.

 

[Dan@SJM]

But for my opinion, bags are for girls.

 

[McGherkin]

Booooost or broken. Tough choice.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

TBH, I'd go for sky diving. Not a fan of drowning.

 

[aucky]

Not sure whether to have sausages or cement for dinner tonight.

 

[Dan@SJM]

Tbh I've had sausages that were like cement.

 

[djjonnibgood]

I'd leave the clio standard and buy a turbocharged hovercraft. Win win.

Spend the money on English lessons.

As everyone has said, they aren't exactly similar routes, If the question was supercharge or turbocharge it would make more sense.
One option (air) is going to destroy the driveability, ruin the handling and turn it into a static car. IMO clio's don't do this look well.
The other is going to greatly increase the power, and improve it's driveability. So it's what you want, better to drive or to sit and look at it lol.

Air ride.

 

[Snake182]

Boost all day long, if you do a proper job and don't cut corners, or you will get caught out.

 

[McGherkin]

Fit turbo on exhaust side.
Attach pipe on inlet side to airbag suspension.
Rev 'up'.

Just like riding a hovercraft.

 

[Snake182]

:lolup: lmao may actually work

 

[parrysmiles]

Get thee to another forum Satan!

 

[Saul]

Boost.

Or if you go air ride plumb the compressor into your intake just like a turbo iirc imo.

 

[Wick]

Definitely air ride.

Some people shouldn't be trusted with fast cars.

 

[Chip-mk1]

For you, air ride deffo.
and a 1.2 conversion

 

[Ryanj]

Hmm...Get s**t suspension and spend the remainder of your ownership looking like a bellend, or boost? Quite the predicament...

Flol!

 

[Chip-mk1]

I'm thinking of buying a conservatory or a donkey. Which should I get?

 

[dmallett]

Boosted Bags tbh, less lag that way.

 

[Charlie-silver172]

Neither

sell the 172 and buy a 1.2

 

[MG cup]

Well this went well.

Id probably fit an air compressor as a replacement engine and get a good horse to tow it all.

 

[McGherkin]

Neither

sell the 172 and buy a 1.2

I'll swap?

 

[Knuckles]

Do I watch rug rats or p**n this evening?

flol at turboing airbags! The car would hump the ground to death

Is your name jimmy?

 

[hilldawg172]

Is your name jimmy?

lmao

Out of interest if you weighing up options.

If you turbo'd it now would you run air later or vice versa?

Not sure on what your trying to do to the car as there conflicts couldn't be greater

 

[Advikaz]

I personally think Air ride looks pish but that's just my op. I'd stick with a decent set of coilovers & get the geo set up properly instead if it was me.

If you can actually get the best out of it, i'd say turbo, but you're looking at very different things.

 

[l33th3tr33]

Booooost or broken. Tough choice.

I thought boost = broken?

 

[ekaJ]

Bagged & boosted ftw!

Just not on a clio lol
