Welcome buddy.

Do not set your sights exclusively on a metro turbo engine to use as a basis, as these fetch a stupid premium, when any 1275 A+ engine will serve as a perfectly good base for turbocharging.

Read the Beginners/FAQ section, in particular "Metro Turbo Engine Myths" as a starter for ten.

thanks for that, the reason why i was looking to get the metro engine was because if im not mistaken, this will come with all the parts i will need, and me being new to the game, i still dont know what is exactly needed.
help!!!!!!!

It may or may not come with all the parts you need, depends on what is included.

Do some reading of old posts on here to get a better idea of what is required.

Also turboPhils site, www.turbo-mini.com has lots of useful info on it.
