It didnt say anywhere in my post about it being £2500 people!! the only words with 2, 5 and 0 was the 250bhp!
Paul has now stated what the price of the conversion will be in this thread. I am definatly going for it, I have been sat at home all night reading up and thinking about it! I cant believe I was even contemplating the turbo over the supercharger!!!
Paul - Get on the case! Get this bracket sorted, I cant wait!! lol :race:

K-tec's low boost turbo is being offered at £2500 + VAT thats where the price came from...
White Evo V
Oh sorry, I got confused! Yeah they do offer it at that if you want to fit it yourself!!!
K-tecs low pressure turbo conversion is £3220 fitted which will work out a similar price to the supercharger from RS and you get approx 40 more horses with the charger, alot better sound, smoother and more progressive power and better parts such as a forge intercooler etc.... You cant go wrong!!

Paul will be doing mine at 250bhp (approx) and he told me this 'should' be safe on stock internals.

i would have a few gear boxes and driveshafts lying around for the not so distant future!!
Poor gearbox
A total myth
Look at the 200+ bhp up to big power Clio's on here. Their boxes havent been a issue.
Reason why they get bad press is due to abuse and poor maintanence
What torque was with the 280bhp though?
It depends on maintenance and use. They definately arent the best boxes in the world.
If you still have the original renault oil, or slam every gear change, you will eventually get problems.
If you do alot of SQM you will eventually get problems.

what figures you looking for/expecting? and whats final costing?

mmmm, up to you if you run a std clutch, as it won't take much more than standard torque, mine was ruined with only 177 ftlbs.
The uprated organic clutch is only rated to 170 ftlbs and my paddle 212 ftlbs! so running more than 220 on a standard clutch is a big risk imho
