Turbo and manifold pics
Turbo Mini Forums

Would anyone be able to post some pics of how the turbo is mounted to the inlet and exhaust manifolds and the down pipe?

And is there any difference between the metro turbo inlet manifold and the manifolds that come with most stage 1 kits?

here is some pics
hope this inspires you.

the inlet manifold on the turbo is just SPOT ON!
leyland did there home work on this one

& got things right!

its not to say others will not work! but... this is the one you need

the MG Metro N/A one flows slightley better thanks to fastcarl and turbo dave, having tested these on the flow bench.
but its not the one for the turbo engine as its to do with the fuel distribution etc



some other comments would be welcomed on this subject

we all run different heads, cams, f/d, etc but very few of us don't use one of these.like you said, rover did their homework.nuff said

i dont!

i bet that silver paint didnt last long lol.

but this set up seems to be the norm and works well.

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

never ran it to find out hoggy

i picked this engine up from a bufoon!

in loughboroug around 6 years ago for 50 quid he said he had this running and removed this because
"he did not like turbo engines"

he said it did 125mph

YEH!!!! when i looked how it was plumbed in it was a joke!
to say the least, he would not have even got it started at all!

no wonder he took it out!
i gave him the money and off i drove

i plonked it under the bench with the other dozen i managed to aquire!! its the best painted there at that time

i only picked this unit for the pic because iam raking the engines out iam moving home, and have to take the engines with me
my backs nackerd!
