PM clio_rsi_turbo. He's done his conversion himself. I think he's still selling the engine too. I've got his turbo if you want it. £30 to you sir

What is the 480 gt then ?
what turbo is it kj16v ?

[kj16v]

The standard Garrett T2.

id like to get hold of a t3 . but ive got to find a low milage engine first and rebuild it . anny ideas kj16v ?

[kj16v]

I'd imagine that a T3'd Volvo engine would be a laggy horror wouldn't it? Seems a bit big for it. I'd have thought a T25 would be much better. Don't know for sure, just IMO. Like I said, PM Clio-RSI-Turbo. I'm sure he still has his engine. Plus he knows what he's on about cuz he's done it himself.

I don't rate the volvo conversion tbh it's crap....all the cars I've seen with it have been poor. Vag lump

[kj16v]

TBH that's what Clio...Turbo said! If I had the skills I'd defo put a VAG lump in mine.
