Given the way the manifold routes down the back it might make turboing a bastard. Maybe consider supercharging instead?

Yeah they are, the engine definitely can handle quite a lot more. Outside of the UK there are a few big power RC's particularly in Turkey, what seems to have always been the biggest killer of peoples dreams of tuning them in the 206 world is the ECU etc. As they are difficult - to say retain stock features not many bother. On a road car those things you loose you usually want obviously for track = fuck them off lol.
DP used to do a turbo kit not sure if they do now but it was ridiculous money and didn't include much. Charging is something I have considered I know Ecosse have done a few 180's. Obviously I wouldn't fancy them doing it as they charge stupid money because of their rep certainly at the time. Also they are quite cowboyish with wiring as one guy on info found out on his ITB'd 138 lol.

I'm going to have to think of what to do, certainly in more depth closer to the time. I would want usable power nothing extreme enough to get it around a track as quickly as possible while retaining drive-ability, last thing I want is something that struggles for grip and a dif is something on my little list too.
