Well setup with mapped ignition, 45mpg is achievable.

I wouldn't bother with Mirage's manifold (too pricey), unless you're after avoiding bulkhead surgery. Someone on Turbo Min's might sell you a suitable manifold, either Metty or a d-i-y jobbie similar to the Mirage one.
Collect the bits where you can, some can be just as useful on a N/A engine - I wouldn't start on the turbo conversion until you have all the bits together. Costs can spiral & there's always something else.

I disagree, I personally think it's pretty good value for what you get, not cheap, but then a bespoke manifold to do the same job isn't either.
don't use the standard dizzy, you'll be disspointed with the results and it's likely to end in trears as too much advance will melt your engine.

Whoever told you the standard dizzy was fine obviously does not have a clue, I would not take anymore of their advice on turboing.
If you must use a dizzy there are two options, use the metro turbo one, or use a fixed dizzy, set it to a max advance of 24degrees. this is a massive compromise and will be bad for fuel econmy.

The mirage is around £350 iirc. I bought a mirage for one of my projects and still managed to do the whole conversion for less than £1k. But realistically you need £1500 to £2k.

So how is a metro dizzy are they any good and this is quikly turning more complex and dear than i hoped for didnt look too bad on www.Turbo-mini.com

As already said the Metro Turbo cam is just the standard 1275 cam, what you want is the cam from the NA MG Metro which is different as it says on my website. I think you got a little confused on this.

That's Wils car that's featured on my site. If you look carefully you'll see that although he built it on a reasonable budget, he didn't scrimp on the important areas to ensure reliability, such as lowering the compression with the 295 head & proper control over the ignition using Megajolt.

Yes sorry he did use the different ignirion too looks tricky to fit but i will look into it further and is that particular cam essential or would a sports cam or kent cam of some sort do the trick?

You could do the head & megajolt and see the advantage on the engine (in performance & economy) before you fit a turbo, You could also use a carb fettled for turbo charging and the rest of the turbo fuel system on a N/A car, but there'd be no advantage without the blower.
