I'm fitting a standard MG Metro turbo setup to my (non turbo) MG engined Mini and I gather I need a fuel tank with a return pipe for the pressure regulator.

how about a more powerfully engine? I was told the mpi or spi tank would be good up to about 100bhp much more and you would need a larger capacity pump? |

The mpi pump will be fine the spi used a lower pressure pump (now discontinued anyway). |

I thought that you need 3 psi above maximum boost. So if you want 1 bar (14.7psi) you need 17.7psi of fuel pressure for correct delivery into the carb if your using a carb! I'm going to try the spi tank as it's good to 1.1 bar (17psi ish) and use 7-12 psi of boost... On 7th Nov, 2011 apbellamy said:

no no no no, you need more boost! you can never ever come on here and say I have enough boost, that's just silly. On 29th Mar, 2010 Star Mag said:

Iirc the SPI pump gives about 15psi so is suitable for about 10psi, the MPI is about 3bar I think ? So obviously more than enough. |

Thanks for the replies everyone, looks like the MPI fuel pump is indeed a go. I am thinking of running something like 10-12 PSI of boost so I think it will be more than adequate.
