Phase 2 is a good all round cam for a turbo lump IMHO.

I know some people are fond of the Swiftune SW5 but I've no personal experience of it in a blown motor.

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

also depend on which turbo you are using and how you want your engine to feel (usable revs),
each time u go larger the power come later!

depends what you want!
if you want it on boost quick then the T2.
T2 also means you can fit it in the engine bay without any body mods, with the mirage kit.

there is no best turbo for everybody it depend how much boost and power you want,
t2 up to 12/15 psi from std 94 to 140/150 hp, very responsive, quasi no lag and drivable
t3 from 13 to 22 psi from 130 to 200hp , laggy, pull later

Any engine is better with mapped ignition, so yes Megajolt is better.

From what I remember about the Renault 9 it had the same 1.4 engine as the 5 so the turbo should be the same as the 5 and therefore should be ok. I could be wrong about the Renault 9 engine though?????

A good condition timing chain will be fine, but if you have a duplex or belt drive it is a marginal improvement.
