Hi Guys,
Great forum - Been using the search function for ages to answer many of my A-series turbo questions, so it probably about time I introduced myself:
I’m Nick, living just outside Melbourne Australia, and my current project/money pit is a turboed 1961 Morris Minor.
Specs:
• Morris Ital A+ bottom end fitted with omega pistons(1293cc).
• Metro turbo head
• Avonbar phase 2 cam
• Gt -1752 turbo
• Water to air intercooler
• Megajolt
• Toyota Celica gearbox
• Techedge wideband lambda
The plan is to get it running reliably at 12-15psi, before taking it off the road and getting the bodywork done.

Will get some pics up, as soon as i figure out how to.

Matt, to answer your question - I've got a morris minor, not a mini minor. It's RWD, hence the Celica gearbox.
