Iv thought about this ask and Crapply PS some on and it looks alright in all fairness.
You could also look at some ronal areo or turbo wheel's.
I think turbos only go up to 15's tho.
Areo's go from 16 to 18 I think.

I'm thinking about upping the power on mine can't decide what direction to go 2bf. I know the 180 head allows for bigger valves ect could this be an option? the only thing I really can do to mine is go forged solid lifters and more aggressive cam.
but that's practically rebuilding the engine would this spec be better used in a gti6 or 180 lump.

Might as well just stick some big valves in the 138 head of its going to be ported as well.

true I had ready have a polished and ported head. not sure how much bigger you could go in these heads. as I wanted to reuse my itb setup it was mentioned that the 180 inlet is quite a bit bigger than the 140 inlet. and my manifold could restrict the inlet and not make use of the bigger valves in the 180 head.

Took the car for an MOT the other day and of course it passed. It did quite a lot of stop start driving and as time went by the clutch was feeling a bit sticky. It could be felt through the pedal and I suspect it's heat from the exhaust manifold getting to the clutch slave cylinder. So I bought some heat shield stuff. Fitting it would have been so much easier when the engine was out. Never mind. Not tested it yet but hopefully it will work.

Just had a thought. Next time the subframe is off or the engine is out I might get some threaded studs welded onto the exhaust manifold. Then I can get a sheet of heat shield bolted onto the manifold. I can shape it to fit perfectly round the manifold.

That'll be the clutch master cylinder  slave's on the front of the gearbox.
Is your manifold not heat wrapped?

I knew that really! No heat wrap. Was advised that heat wrap can sometimes harm the manifold.

Ah right, it does seem to be a rather 50/50 split over the pro's and con's of heat wrap.
Another thing you could look at though is what brake fluid are you using? Might be worth looking at a more sport/racing orientated fluid with a higher boiling point so the heat build up of stop start takes longer to have any detrimental effect on the fluid inside the line.

I don't think the heating affecting the brake/clutch fluid. It's just the heat is getting to the master cylinder. Hopefully this will solve it anyway.

Well I think the heat shield works. Drove for a few miles yesterday and the pedal remained smooth.
Spent some more money. Wanted to replace the rear damper nuts and bolts. I didn't change them when I refurbished everything 5 years ago. However due to stupid minimum order quantities it would have cost me £50. So I settled for just replacing the nuts. Even these cost £25. I have resprayed the bolt heads in silver. The time has come to avoid peugeot dealers for fixing like this and buy stuff from Ebay instead. They are just nuts at the end of the day.

As always good work.
Glad the heat foil/sheet is working
How did you make your cross member for the radiator, im guessing it's so kind of box section?

I just got some aluminium box tubing from B&Q and fitted some angle brackets to the end to fix it to the car. I used the original plastic radiator mounts to hold the radiator in place.

Hopefully this video link to Photobucket will work.
It's filmed from a Blackvue dashcam so hardly the best audio quality.
