    MG Metro Turbo is a fantastic car. Value for money, not going to depreciate any further. 'zippy' if not outright quick off the mark, good acceleration through the gears though and cruises well despite the lack of a 5th forward gear, and handle very well. Heaps of room compared to modern 'super minis'.

    I've owned my MG Turbo for about 5 years now and I still love it to this day, but sadly the gear box only lasted me about two weeks before I broke it, and then it sat on the drive way to this day. But no worry as I've stripped it down now and have got another gearbox for it, and got hold of a full Metro 6R4 body-kit for it. But when I stripped it I found that the floor had loads of rust, so I've spent loads of time welding it! Hopefully in 6 months time I should have a Metro Turbo 6R4 lookalike ...

    I've owned my MG Metro Turbo for six years and wouldn't part with it. I've held a licence for forty years and had some really nice cars, including a D8 Delage, an 'S' series Bentley a couple of Jags, various Daimlers (including a Majestic Major) Mini Cooper 'S' (a proper one - not the BMW sort)etc. and the Metro is up there with the best of them. Ran it standard as personal transport for four years and loved every minute behind the wheel. Eventually the tinpeckers got it and it has recently been ...

    I have owned 4 MG Metro Turbos in the last 3 years and any one who wants to give them jip needs to be shot. The one I own at the moment is an 89 black mg metro turbo, modified to produce 198 bhp and has 6 speed gear box, custom body kit, arches flaired to fit 17" aloys, full twin s/s exhauste and custom interior. This car has never lost a street race yet, has whiped cavalier gsi 4x4, 3.0 bmw's and many lotus's. So there you go there has never been such an exellent born car since the metro and wo ...

    I would like to own a MG Metro Turbo. Spoke to a guy who insanely ran his turbo @ 21psi with no problems. Had a metro 1.3 GS but not quick enough though would like to modify one make it go fast. I had 13" turbo rims on my metro and it outgripped al ot of cars. Standard Ap 4 pot callipers and vented discs are mental when hot but not very good when cold. Would have been better if they had springs and shocks (coil overs).

    MG metros have had an intresting history, i like them. theyre nice and not too ugly. not hard to fix and not hard to replace. I currently dont have a turbo but am thinking of installing.. i like this car.. nice and simple... you know.. the best things are made simple :) I got mine free from a friend and purchased a rover and replaced engines

    MG Metro Turbos are very underated cars which makes them proper street sleepers, they are blinding on the b-roads.. ANYONE IN THERE EURO HOTHATCH BEWERE. Up the boost to 12Psi, modify combustion chamber in the head piper phase3 turbo should see you over 130bhp. DON'T under estimate!

    The MG Metro turbo has highly polished white alloys which are so smooth that under hard braking the alloy stops and the tyre continues to rotate.

    Fred Flinstone's car outbraked metro turbos, probably handled better too.

    I drove my mates mg metro turbo and relaised that they are great fun, they are fast and with a tiny bit of tweaking they will easily keep up with 1.6's and things like that.it will give any saxo a hard time on the street.
    they are good for well over 100mph, and a 0-60 of about 8.5/9sec.
    with new gearbox internals, an uprated headgasket, new needle and spring in the carb, a good dump valve and plenty of boost wound on it will easily be beating faster cars and should see power in the regions of ...

    Its quite fast as standard, but nothing special. About as fast as a good condition XR2.

    Its when you mod it that you see massive gains. However if you are thinking of upping the boost, dont do it unless you have a lower compression cylinder head fitted. Fit a stronger carb needle/spring, exhaust, airfilter. If you run about 11-12 psi you should see about 130bhp. Dont tune it further unless you want to change the gearbox.

    130bhp in an 845kg car is more than enough!

    Fit a dump valve ...

    The MG Metro Turbo is a fine, unknown car. Most people don't know there is a Metro Turbo so they are surprised when the little Metro does the 0-60 in just over 8 seconds and leaves so-called better cars behind, I speak from experience!
