Got 2 engine looms at our disposal.

Have a feeling its pretty easy tbh, especially with a de-immo ECU.   Just working out the fuel pump i think.

Also depends how well the clio clocks will take mk4 golf signals for the gauges :|

Why do we want to?  Because we can ;)  and tbh, a clio does handle a lot better.  Its a fully stripped clio, some of you will probably recognise it thats all im saying on that.  But if you think of a GT28RS on a 1.8T in a 950kg maximum stipped out clio.  Even 300bhp will see over 315bhp per tonne and we hoping for over 300 minimum.  350 ideally.  368bhp per tonne.  HELLO!

We gonig to see what we can get running on a AGU ecu then work around that...we think speedo might be off ABS on the clio so thats a thing off mind and however rev counter wires up, but thats not really a concern with aftermarket available.

Get yourself an AGU wiring diagram and a Clio diagram. Match up the appropriate wires to the Clio. Shouldn't be that hard to match up. It's only powers and earths, be it permanent or switched lives. Then you can sort revs and speedo.

Hell if this can be done to a KA, why not to a clio, end result is not BHP, but BHP per tonne.

How you planning on keeping that clio tame with an AGU and no means of traction, that would be my only concern?

Yup, will get there eventually!  Even if it just runs stock turbo for now for teething stuff.

Cant find a clio diagram anywhere.  Ive worked out the 20v loom tonight.
