This is true, TB's are TB's really when it comes down to it its all about the control of the things. There are several designs but ive never seen RB-ITB's available for the clio.
Laura, what setup are you considering?
A friend of mine a few years back put throttle bodies on his Valver......Cost him alot of cash and to this day he says it wasn't worth it (in his opinion). The car sounded sweet afterwards and was a bit more responsive, but for the price it did not significantly improve performance enough for him to justify doing it to future cars...Was also quite a bit more thirsty afterwards...
I thought the best thing to do is hang around the GDI workshop?
Nice name change!! Guess you got sick of being called dude and fella???

Agreed, wiring and mapping is the key.
Bad connection in the loom can be an absolute f**king nightmare to find, as I found out recently. Your nice 3 year old car feels like a bag of nails and all the companies I spoke to, to have a look at didnt really want to touch it.
It has taken me ages to find the problem and now my wideband controller appears to be knackered aswell!

To be honest I would never bother with 'serious' mods again.
Been there done it in the past and it always gave me grief.
I'd much prefer a better more standard car now instead of a heavily modified one.
I'd save the money for throttle bodies and put it towards a better car.

Reliability - Excellent
Only problems you are likely to find are electronics related where the Renault parts are interfering - its best to remove all the renault crap and make your own loom for what you need.
Fuel Consumption - Normal if you are not leathering it
Fuel Consumption - Sub 10MPG if you are at full chat
Jesus could have told you that, but then he would always have got a good 30mpg driving it as he does... ;-)

Your going about it the best way Laura, research and ask lots of Q's!!
Paying for them and backing the build yourself really helps, I guess you have more confidence in the work done and any problems (if any) you will know about as you will have built it from start to finish rather than getting one allready done.
Good luck, there should be more people out there which put there own money in to creating these TB'd beasts!

I'd make sure I had a loom extension and placed the ECU inside the car for a start!
