After a long break and thinking, I am resuming my GTi 180 Project. For those who don't recall, I already have this set of audioware installed:
Source Deck: Pioneer P88-RS Head Unit with USB adaptor
Front Stage: Hertz MLK Mille 165 Components (in custom front builds)
Subwoofer: Rainbow Vanadium 12" Subwoofer (in a 1cuft sealed enclosure)
Amplifier: Audison LRX 5.1k 5-channel Amp
The system also includes an uprated battery.
My long wait for my new exhaust system is finally over and I am now in possession of a full Scorpion cat-back. She is also going to get a new set of brakes, front link arms and a ITG Maxogen filter for the induction kit.
A hiccup with the Morettes has led me to abandon the conversion. Future modifications may include Catcam road cams or a low boost forced induction solution...
Comments welcome.

Ah really? What sort of price bracket are you looking at? I am currently tempted to give K-tech a call. They are offering a low boost turbo kit for the 172/182 Renault for a tad over £3000.

K Tec are absolute pirates, do not give them a penny of your cash.
Price bracket for the cams or for the supercharger?

The supercharger project. Wouldn't the cams give more power with forced induction? They gave Kyle nearly 200bhp If I remember rightly...

Cams aren't a worthy upgrade on a supercharged engine, would rather get back close to what I paid for them. The supercharging conversion is still in the early stages so guessing prices won't be very accurate...
