Hi fellas :) I've just bought this Metro. Can't get it on the road for a couple of weeks so really eager to know how it will perform.

I'm hoping to get more than a standard MG Metro :).

I'll have a stab at 83hp On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
Yep I agree with TD........ |

Thats 78 mobile dyno banana's so probably inflated figures. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Thanks, guys :). Engine sounds pretty good, seems to rev easy and has only done about 43k so hoping it will give a decent reading on the rollers. 85bhp would make me a very happy girl indeed so fingers crossed....:) Suck, squeeze, bang, blow........ |

I reckon if setup well 84 banana's at the flywheel. However when spring fresh I reckon it would have been in the mid 90's If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder. On 15th Aug, 2011 robert said:
