Andyrg turbo conversion opinions

[Mr Plums]

Hey people,

I have been speaking to Andyrg about the turbo conversions he does, i have been deciding for a while now whether or not to go ahead.

I have told him that i will let him no for definite tomorrow as to whether or not i am going to ahead with it.

He has told me he could fit me in later on this month if i do.

Are there any people on here that have had the conversion done by Andyrg and are you happy with the results?

Have you had any problems with the car and reliability afterwards?

If you had the spare money, do you think its a worth while thing to have done if you are wanting more power, and you are planning on keeping the car a good length of time.

Would you get it done by Andyrg who seems a genuine great helpful guy up to press. (I have to ask sorry Andy)

I am only asking this because i am fairly new on here and obviously some of you old timers know a lot more about things and a lot more about other members than i do

Thanks for any info

 

[Dan@SJM]

You won't go wrong with Andy.

 

[MattRS182]

Iv heard nothing but good things, Im thinking of going ahead with it myself, I swear i saw earlier in the week that he has done over 30 now aswell, Its something i really want to do and i wouldnt go anywhere else but Andy

If you have the spare cash and love the car you cant go wrong.

 

[George182]

Andy is brilliant.

Great communication, terrible terrible northern banter P) but a thoroughly good guy.

Loving my turbo 182! Couldn't recommend him more!

 

[Mr Plums]

Wow thanks people this is just what i wanted to hear

He did tell me he could put me in contact with fellow members he has done this set up for which was re assuring, but i didnt want him running around after me, so i thought i would stick this thread up

Its hard making decisions when theres a few "K" involved tho lol.

 

[MartinR]

I'm considering this conversion.

Reliability would be the biggest factor imo.

Are you going to be going down the forged route or just running standard internals etc? Will the standard valves be upto it? (Don't hold up to well just NA )

 

[MattRS182]

Mate i know exactly what you mean, i was like this for abit, Iv made my mind up that i deffo want to go with it, My only decision to make now is if i should do it to the van or buy a 182 to do it to lol

I cant wait lol

Chi is putting his 20VT 172 up for sale. Might be a cheaper option for some.

 

[Andyrg@ ClioTurbo]

Ah yes another Clioturbo Conversion

 

[Laine_16v]

Andy is the man for turbo knowledge, you won't go wrong

 

[Chi]

My Turbo was built by Andy and it is brilliant, lots of people have been in it and will confirm.. Ive not been brave enough to take it past 5000rpm in fact my foot hardly moves on the throttle pedal.. Such a solid build which gives a lot of confidence when pressing on.. cheers Jay.S

[Andyrg@ ClioTurbo]

[Coops Mk1]

Haha your welcome to have a try mate

I'll come knocking next time I'm back at my parent in Wazza matey be interesting see how it feels compared to the F7P turbo, that thing doesn't let you stop at 5k, hits 7.2k before you even know what's happened, lol!

 

[Lal B3N]

Best post I've seen all day!

 

[Chi]

That car had done the clock Chi

I can well believe it mate its flying in the right direction when I bottle it

 

[Tom-173]

Dont hesitate and get the job done!!! Only man for clio turbo conversions imho, im so happy with mine! Drove 5 hours there and back twice, and going back for more boost! Im pretty sure andy left a full time job too turbo clios... Which resulted in clioturbo.co.uk. This is my input...

VERY happy customer!

 

[r0ss172]

Andy built my old 172 cup turbo, i decided to put megane internals in and took it to Andy again. His work is 2nd to none! it had done between 500-600 miles when he gave it back to me at Bedford autodrome where i kicked its face in for 2 hours in 28 degrees weather this summer and it was faultless!! Drove it as my daily car for another 2-3k after that and again no problems what so ever!

I only sold it due to buying a house! Craving another now

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions

 

[WilkyWay]

I think the above comments say it all.

Andy helped me with mine as well. Built my engine in his workshop and helped me do the rest of the conversion.
I think it is into the 30's now that he has done. Turbo clios are like C20LET Corsas in thw North East

 

[WilkyWay]

Oh and Chi, if youve not taken the 20VT past 5k then you've not even tickled it yet!

Didn't mean it a negative way at all mate, was just checking you were happy with how it was. I bloody love that we actually have someone offering 'off the shelf' setup's now!

 

[JezzaMac]

Andy is good at what he does and enjoys it as well! He is always being helpful and trying to supply cheap parts!

I wouldn't think again about taking my car to Andy, but I cant see me getting rid of my car any time soon

 

[Cub.]

If someone doesn't mind, can they PM me the cost for an 'off the shelf' setup please

 

[WilkyWay]

Best off sending Andy a message, there are a few different options to go for. ..

 

[Rob]

Indeed, message Andy Cubbington. Then go and get it, then drive to mine, then leave it at mine.
