Commonly fitted to Montegos and larger-engined Maestros. Also MG Metro Turbo, which is actually the one I'm hoping to find, but an ordinary one can be modded.

I'm not keen on the older ones (HS, HD, etc) with the outboard float chamber as they add extra complication and leakage sources, especially being blown through. |
