step 1. Go to
http://www.turbominis.co.uk and log into the forum.
IMO Metro Turbo is NOT the best way to go. Probably the simplest but not the best. They have a compression of 9.4:1, which is high for a turbo, standard Metro cam (non-MG) basically it's a Metro 1275, with tough pistons and 9.4:1 compression. It has very tough pistons, and better exhaust valve material. Will require firewall modding.
However, a company called Mirage in the UK make special manifold such that no firewall mods are required and there's dyno and quarter mile proof that they make good power.
Above all you need MONEY! But first off log into the forum above, and ask questions, there's stickys on this. I log in once a week on the same name as here.
<edit> Just realised, above, Spaceboy only recommended the turbo set up, not the whole motor. But he mentioned reducing of compression for turbo. Good idea, more boost, more igntion advance, but the Metro Turbo engine run 9.4:1. People on the forum say about 10psi is max for the metro turbo engine set up.
