Hi Mate,
Glad you've finally got it back. Can i ask what took so long? On their site it says they need 4-5 weeks. Didn't yours take 3-4 months? Is their work guaranteed?

If I was going to spend that kind of money I'd hope the workmanship had some kind of guarantee.

How many times have your insurance company multiplied your insurance by?

I was thinking the same thing, £7600 to pay for the work and god only knows how much extra for the insurance.

Glad your enjoying it and think its worth it though

Awesome mate! Can't wait to see some vids..0-60 / 100 would be good lol! Your car has to be one of the fastest cars on the forum, if not the fastest?

Does it really struggle for grip in 1st and 2nd and potentially 3rd under hard accleration??

sounds good mate...didn't know you were so local....i am down the road in shepton mallet...

sounds good mate..shame you can't make the weston meet
 
did someone leave you lots of money in their will? Or do you rob banks for a living?

I couldnt even dream of having that much money kicking about to spend on a turbo for my car, nor the £2k price tag for insurance!

Got any pictures of your car? Does it look like a standard 172?

7600, is a rediculous amount of money to spend on a clio, I never would, but I suppose you do with it what you want.

Thumbups for doing it!

fair shout mate i know what it feels like handin of that sort of money to bbpt wrong i say but i live in bristol so not far from you so 2 clio turbos in the south west race on ;)

yes but if you read into what BBT actually do and the work envolved you can see why it costs that much.
Not just your average bolt a turbo on, play with some management and tap into the block for oil feed

Hope to see this sunday to see what power its making. The videos are certainly impressive though!
