Hi All,
Now im sure this is a re-post, yet i have a few questions and would like some tech advice.
So im planning on Turbo'ing the Clio pottentially in march, once ive got a bit of money put aside. Ive been looking at a few options. Ive spoken to engine dynamics who i believe can do a low boost turbo for about the £2,500 - £3,000 mark. Ive used Engine Dynamics a few times now and really like them.
However was also thinking about maybe using the megan turbo'ed engine. Now in principle i know they are roughtly the same block, one turbo'ed megan, and one not the clio. Oviously have different internals.
So my questions are:
Another point to be made is that i will prob over the next year or so be buying a spare lump and gear box, im planning on making the car more track than road use, so a spare engine and gear box never go a miss. So if i did buy a megan lump it in some respect would mean i had the spare lump sitting about, saving me having to.
Guys many thanks in advance for your help!

So my questions are:
- Would you Turbo the clio engine, or just do an engine conversion to the megan lump?
- If you did the engine conversion, is there any known big issues to over come, or is it more of a simple straight swap
- Have many people actually done the megan conversion?
- Is the cost more to do the engine conversion or to have a turbo fitted to the standard engine?
