I have a 2.1 arriving on thursday...got it for 180 delivered with box/turbo/all ancillaries...so selling the bits I dont need to pay for the engine! lol!
It had only done 90k too.
But rebuilding it over the winter, new rings, hone the bores etc, skim head etc etc
Also got a HDI box on the way! lol! Already got me a boxer intercooler for a tenner!! lol!
Also putting a bosch 11mm hybrid as the one thats coming has got the lucas on it.
Theres a guy on 306pug.net who did this...he rerouted the turbo to on top of the gearbox...bigger turbo mind.
Have I missed what pump you are using?
Will have to put my project up on this site
Im not sure Id bother about the rebuild, Ive seen the insides of many 100k engines still have the factory honing marks.
Whats the boxxer intercooler like. Ive looked at alot of OEM intercoolers and ATM anything the right size and shape with exits in the right place costs close on what a more efficient universal one costs.
Mine is getting a 9mm pump from my 1.9TD for the minute until I can afford a rebuild.
Ive seen the thread on .net (youll notice ive posted in it). I want mine to look OEM so the turbo is staying round the back.

I will probably go for a Helix if/when I need one. For now the 280lb/ft limit will probably be good for now especially as a doubt my tyres would cope with 280lb/ft in anything but 4th and 5th even in a straight line.
was deemed after a lot of discussion and research and chats with companies that the latest Sachs clutch kit for 2.0hdis, 306/berlingo, has a rated power of 280ftlbs of torque.
just a thought

Me and Darren are looking for different things from our cars.
Darrens cars are rev monsters that actually dont make huge torque because the boost comes in so high up the rev range.
This is looking to be at full boost around 2krpm and that means HUGE torque and thats whatll kill the clutch.
