Hello people, i'm fitting a turbo to an A series using the metro turbo manifolds. However, rather than using the existimg T3 which i have, i;m planning to use a T2 for less lag (which i also have). Can anyone give me advice on this? Also, if anyone has an inch and three quarter SU lying around that is clamped for a turbo, theres cash waiting

there is a mini centre in glasgei, i would try them

i think there is one in my mates barn,you would have to have the lot tho,turdo,manifold and head,its got sodium valves if yr interested

Think I have a Turbo SU in the garage somewhere.
Came off my old Metro Turbo when I dropped the MG engine in.
It's in reasonable nick, but has not been used for a good few years.

The standard Metro Turbo, with its associated controllers didn't suffer too much from lag as far as I remember from one my wife had a few years back - the main problem was the weak gearbox so you shouldn't suffer from that!

cos the gearbox is kak bl cut down on boost ect to save a load a warrenty claims, dont know/remember exactly what they did run but it was'nt a lot.......

if your going turbo spend a bit on box o cogs too, dont forget if its a tranverse set up they share the same oil, hence any bits falling off the gearbox will find there way into engine oil too....

...and be careful about putting too much boost in. Part of the reason they didnt have much lag was that they ran quite a high compression ration (for a turbo).

Not to worry, if i'm using a T2 it should eliminate the lag. I have all the components bar the carb; sodium valves and all.
