Just read through your build. Nice car then I noticed mine on Andy's ramp in one pic :smile: Andy is a top bloke and his after sales service is immense.

It's what I was planning anyway Andrew as my mate has it in his fezzy, solinoid is either on or off so switch is basically on and off I presume with a + & - on solinoid ... Am I correct? [emoji12]

Nothing really to see but this is the switch.

Definitely contemplating doing this to my car, @Andyrg@ ClioTurbo How much roughly is it to forge the engine and turbo???

http://clioturbo.co.uk/services.html

I would go for at least the medium build tho, i have the low boost/high boost switch in mine, and high boost feels like a different animal compared to low boost, and mine is only Andys medium boost build running 270bhp.

I went for this build because my belts were due in March, and you get them all done in his medium and high boost packages so it would work out about the same by the time i would have had my belts done in March. Plus you get around 40-50 more bhp, high boost low boost switch, megane pistons and more.

Mine is like a stage 2.5 as it's fully forged but running the Gt2560rs instead of the Gt28

Its like the vxr range with these stages :tongueclosed:

Mine is stage 2.3 because i went for the upgraded garrett gt2560r instead of the T28 :grin:

My car passed its MOT the other day so I treated it to these.... Sachs and Eibach Sport Lines and a Pipercross filter. it fits much better than the previous filter

Car's still looking great mate!

How are you finding the sachs?
Cheers George, you got yours back again?

They are no where near as crashy as the coilovers which is to be expected, i haven't really had chance to push the car since they were fitted due to the rubbish weather, But from the driving I've done so far they feel pretty good.

Been a while but I've got another update to my build thread,

I decided I didn't like the way it sat on the Eibachs as it was too high at the back, so I bought some Cooksports once they came back in stock.

I'm much happier with the ride hight now, the ride quality doesn't appear to be affected either which is good as the whole reason I got rid of my coilovers was that I was sick of crashing into the bumps.
I also aquired some 406 V6 Brembo 4-Pot callipers and 300mm discs, so I've had these fitted. Hopefully they will be a nice little upgrade, I dont think I'll see the best of these till my next track day.

Loving the car buddy, looks spot on!

What's the point of being able to swap between low and high boost on the switch?

Also, what spoiler is on that other LY? The one with the blue bumper.
Almost looks like the non-cup spoiler with an additional spoiler on top?

Fuel economy etc.

See a 911 at the lights= high boost at the flick of a switch, seeeeyaaaaaa!

As stated it allows me to run at 226bhp instead of 291bhp for fuel economy etc
It's some aftermarket spoiler not sure what make it is. Car belongs to a lad called Adam Stück don't know if he's on here

Ah right, he had it at my local meet this month and last. It did eat a gearbox so maybe was in for that?
