Reevio and outlawmorga just read your comments and you both seem knowledgable and the people I need to speak to regarding Renault Clio - volvo 480 turbo engine conversions... I've just bought a Volvo 480 ES turbo, was an ES but had a B18ft dropped into it, running a t25 got some more info if needed, I'm picking it up in 3 days. I currently own a Clio RSi 1.8 8v and want to drop the turbo lump into the Clio, I know it's a big job but I'm going to do it, mechanical side of things I should be fine with.

It's the wiring side I want some help and advice with, bit skint at the minute but any help that gets that turbo running in my car will be rewarded with a drink etc...

Not one to join and post forums usually but would really appreciate the help, so, someone, please help me.

Thanks in advance
