Hello people!

I have just purchased a Metro Turbo engine on eBay. I know nothing about the engine, so I am planning to strip, upgrade and rebuild. I have pretty much all the time in the world to do it, so I want to do it right and make it as powerful & reliable as practical ("should have bought a Yaris" - my mum), so I thought I would say hello on here. Any advice from the magical turbo internet wizards would be hugely appreciated, as I am relatively new to ̶b̶r̶o̶k̶e̶n̶ classic cars, having only owned my Mini for 6 months, and ̶s̶u̶f̶f̶e̶r̶e̶d̶ learnt a lot from the experience!

Cheers,

Phil

Welcome! Annoying n frustrating as they are, hearing that turbo spool then put that look on yours (and others watching) faces is all worth it
