Went for 63mm/2.5 inch for the pipework from the turbo to intercooler to inlet. And 76mm/3 inch from the air filter to the turbo.
Did a little bit of work on the Clio today with the help of @Dan@SJM and @Dan The Top Bloke sorting out an oil leak and coolant leak. Oil was leaking from the crank oil seal between the block and the box, so this meant gearbox out to replace the seal. Also this gave us a good chance to check things and everything looked good.
Then it was the coolant leak to fix, and this was relatively easy to find. Where I had cut into the coolant pipe to put a T-piece in for the turbo coolant return, the plastic t-piece had snapped in the hose causing it leak.
I then put my wheels on that I'd recently got back from refurbishment and I'm very pleased. Only downside is the car is still weeping oil, but we think this is the sump gasket now.. I did it up to tight! But at the end of the day this has been a massive learning experience for me so I didn't expect it to all be spot on at first.

Soon to be mine. The purists will love what I've got planned.
@Dan@SJM should be able to help.
Immobiliser light should work as normal.
Cut injectors/coil, map+sit splice coolant, crank, tps.
So the car has been completely stripped ready for it's new owner @l33th3tr33
And the replacement was picked yesterday..
And then my seats and wheels were added.
And that's how it stands, just the next chapter in the Clio story.

Just wanted something reliable as could use daily, also all the knowledge I have gained it should be cheap to maintain, as I'm starting to save up for the next project.
