There was someone who welded a garrett t3 from a metro turbo onto a 1.2 8v... claimed 115bhp IIRC, then saw it crashed on eBay.

Hard to say really, but going off my mates turbo mini, had a metro 1.3 turbo engine in it, and that was pushing 130 with lots of uprated internals... so prob between 100-110 I reckon.
Would be cheaper and more reliable to drop an E16SE in from a nove GTE/GSi whatever.

Years ago I had a play with a Corsa in the Ashton area of Manchester in my old 2 litre. When I got alongside I noticed it blow off inbetween gearchanges. Anyway we pulled over and I had a look and it was a 1.2 8v turbo! Mad!!!
Sure the guy used to come on here?
