Depends on how much power you are aiming for. If you want much over, say, 230bhp then add forged pistons approx. $450

This is my list for the minimum spec for a reliable low-boost (8-12 psi) conversion, assuming you're doing the work DIY:

Turbo exhaust manifold (Currently available on Ebay for around £200, IIRC)
custom-made downpipe
Compression lowered with dished pistons - (not by using thicker h. gaskets, spacer plates, etc.)
Spesso (or similar) h. gasket or
pipework for oil and water take-off
intercooler
pipwork/hoses for induction and boost
Very strong clutch!
Custom remap
Rebuilt engine - no point strapping a turbo to a 100k+ oil burner
Total cost £2500-£3500

personally i really wouldn't bother, the low boost conversion's are not impressive, and proper high conversions will run to around £3k, unless of course you dont mind spening around 3k, in which case you will end up with an EXTEMELY fast clio, im sure coops is into low 12 second quater mile?
