Iv heard so too , the mg metro turbo uses a converted blow through version , but the basics of the carb are different from a lot of others , and seem to be very reliable , and durable .
And thanks mate , all progress will be shown here , slowly , but surely

Yeah I have seen that the Turbo SU's have some sort of expansion tank on them. If you need anyhelp best bet is to visit the Turbo Mini forum. They are always turboing SU's.Iv heard so too , the mg metro turbo uses a converted blow through version , but the basics of the carb are different from a lot of others , and seem to be very reliable , and durable .

Im confused with all this , my email says this is what you said :
Wish you luck mate but a turbo and an SU wont end well.. Have you considered putting the carb before the turbo?
Thats quite the oppiste of what you actually said
As regards su with turbo , my carb will be going before turbo , so its acting as normal , no real difference as far as its concerned

Yeah originally wrote that as I was thinking about regular carbs. No idea why but alot of people prefer to turbo SU's than any other carb.Im confused with all this , my email says this is what you said :

See thats how I would do it as well. Okay so you don't have an inter cooler and abit less power. Most VW turbo Beatles run carb before turbo.

Ohh , that explains alot , yeah wouldnt try it with a stock carb , as far as power , id rather less , su carb see's a considerable gain by itself , never mind putting a turbo with that , so i wont be mad trying to scrape every last hp , just want this awesome set up to work safely , and thatll do !

Right so ovee the weekend , i got an MA12 head ( Neil ) for my MA10 block and a turbo mani which my turbo fits right onto ( also Neil's )
So went and done my first mock up which leads to a another question :
Do i turn the turbo oppiste as shown so the carb can be on o/s instead if how i was holding it in this photo ?
