Ordered mine today so I can report back on quality

 

[Chip-mk1]

Is that not just a megane one? If so quality should be fine.

 

[crombie1]

It just says for Clio 182 and the down pipe is the same. I just need a link pipe from ktec. What turbo do you have

 

[Chip-mk1]

Ive got a focus RS turbo

 

[crombie1]

And what manifold ? I'm just being lazy to find your thread

 

[Chip-mk1]

Looks the same as that mate.

 

[crombie1]

Do you no what its of. I could ask you questions all day but I'm sure you get sick of it so I won't

 

[Chip-mk1]

Mike from MWM got my one mate, but certainly looks like its the same.

CHip your turbo sticks out so far, its like it has a long neck, can't believe youve not had problems with it touching the bulkhead. Mines quite compact and its damned close!

 

[crombie1]

I'll get pics when it arrives

 

[crombie1]

Pics off yours

Engine dynamics one is the same too it would appear:

There isnt much room behind it, initially we were worried about things like brake line temps, but having trackdayed it pretty hard, it would appear our fears were unfounded.

The manifold I ordered isn't much cheaper. And it's coming from Portugal. I should of went there

 

[stevo172-RWD]

Same as mine I think.

Ask first next time, lol

 

[crombie1]

I saved about £30 lol. The down pipe from ed looks nice but at almost £300 I'll pass. There is only about 3 good turbo conversions on here at the moment so info is sparse

 

[stevo172-RWD]

I think it's high nickel content that's why costs£££

3 decent ones that have the time to have a build thread

 

[Ryan218]

good find! How much was the shipping?

 

[crombie1]

I think it was £330 posted for manifold and downpipe but I'll double check

Tell me more

 

[scotty2hotty81]

Well there is one big power Clio in the (long) process of being built and then another that will be pushing the absolute limits, all will be revealed in good time.

Mine is currently 220ish low boost, but I have a forged engine waiting to go in over the winter aiming for 300+

i must write a proper build thread when I get time!
