Surely they do rod bolts even though they're not listed in parts they provide for the conversion?
of course. The parts list is extensive but rod bolts are not listed which is why I pointed it out.
Some are not listed but the kit does come with rod bolts plus I sure it will be more reliable than a second hand meg engine that you knowing about
Stage 2 and 3 I believe Stage 2 is a partial forge and Stage 3 is a full forge.
I am in the middle of saving for the stage 3 kit, about 2k down at the moment. Honestly gagging for it, this thread makes me rage jealousy, congratulations bro. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put videos up of the car once it's done, like I said, I'm gagging for a turbo so much that I dream about it haha! #carlyf
Stage 2: Lower Compression Pistons/No Forged Rods
Stage 3: Forged Pistons 8:5:1/Forged Rods
@197_turbo can you also tell me how the Helix Paddle Clutch feels after you get it? Daily or ****tY?
One thing though. Why don't they copy the Meganes intake manifold? Seems a leg strech going up to the top of the intake when it could just be removed and have a straight manifold put on it. May reduce spool times too. Alternatively, why not throttle per cylinder or are we talking big £££ here?

Hi dude hope your conversion goes quicker than I took the dive being the frist one to have it done by clioturbo.co.uk but sure yours will be fine now he knows the ins and outs. If your only 2k away from stage 3 that's only 1k away from stage 2 im guessing u want the fully forged kit. Theirs not a massive bhp distance between the too. Get it done quicker if you go for stage 2 lol ye the car used daily so I'll let you know about the clutch and not sure about manifold I know he has them custom made still comes within the kit tho
