Silver suits it, sits well but like you say a cheeky spacer to bring them more flush with the arches. Will make the difference

Twingo Adey's Twingo GT (F4R+T 2.0ltr engine swap)
- Thread starter Adey
- Start date
So some may know ive just moved house, this morning i was planning to clear out the garage so i have a little more space, then i got bored and found loads of old bits of pipe kicking about. Unleash the inner pmt. Only for shits, giggles and noise but i threw an open filter on the twingo and blanked off the dump valve

You big kid 
Been doing some digging around and stuff on potential upgrades, hard work as no one in the uk does much more than a injector swap and map. I contacted a company who were happy to hybrid the turbo for me, great stuff, not too big an outlay ether. Then i did some old skool thinking and tried to find a turbo that would swap on. Actually very hard to do with very little information available, but....... after about 3 days of internet searching i may have found a near bolt on solution for a bigger blower. It will need clocking and a custom down pipe (i needed one anyway) but should be a good upgrade if it works. We will see.
Turbo found and is super cheap, hopefully it can be made to work. There are a few variations of the turbo and fittments but it looks like it should work.
The stock turbo is a Mitsubishi unit, it looks to be a td02 or a td025 unit. This new unit is a Mitsubishi tf035. Comes fitted to 160bhp engines so should be capable as an upgrade. Fingers crossed itll fit up nicely.

From a laguna GT 205 ..
get an adaptor flange made for it. should run it ok still.
think lag 205 and the 175 were a 12t? got a 205 and didn't realise it was smaller than the 225 turbo until i had them side by side.

ill see how i get on with the turbo ive ordered so far. Could be a lost cause, i can make up an adapter plate no worries though, made one not too long ago when i was running a td04 off a WRX on the C1J's t2 manifold. My main concern was trying to keep the turbo small enough to still spool on such a small engine but flow enough to be a worth while upgrade. This turbo seems to be used a fair bit in Australia as an upgrade on the stock 1.3 starlet/Glanza. We will see 
Updates, turbo should be here friday so i can take a closer look at a swap.
I have some 20mm spacers on the way to help fill the arches a touch more.
Ive dug out the old mk1 clio turbos intercooler too, needs a tidy up but considering it fits a mk1 and mk2 clio ok it should fit the twiglet with a little angle grinder action. Fitting that is my christmas job weather permitting.
