turbo carb ?
or is it a bigger version ?
I assume it's basicly the same size since the plenium fit's the metro turbo carb

opinion's please *smiley*

I'm pretty sure its the same carb... although as you say the plenum is bigger as the Montego ran an intecooler :)

Same carb, but i suspect it ran a larger main jet. Burlens would be able to confirm this...
It also used an electronic choke, but this can easilly be 'manualised' with std HIF bits

The plenum (and hence the restrictor tube) was the same for all versions. Only difference here was a stronger spring for the pressure relief valve and the different plenum snout.

Montegos used HIF44E carbs (FZX 1496, FZX 1440 and FZX 1501). Maestro turbo had HIF 44E (FZX1496). All had JZX 1088 green spring. Needle valve and jet same as Metro.

Hope this helps
