Not really, the Mini's aerodynamics limits its speed far more than its power output does. Once you get over 100 in a Mini you need serious power to accelerate further. Just 'because you can get a certain speed range in one gear doesn't mean you can get the same range again in the next gear.

What condition is the turbo in? How much boost? Stipped out mini or standard? What size wheels? Clubman or roundnose? Full tank of fuel or not? Passengers? Quick in a straight line or round bends?

metro turbo 0-60 8.8 seconds. mini is a bit lighter though. apparently they will do about 110-115 mph with a standard engine and diff ratio.

how fast do you want it to run (how long is piece of string), could prob do between 90 - 115 ish. depending on about 53246 million factors!
should the question have been along the lines of 'will a metro turbo engine in a mini give a significant performance advantage over NA 1300?'
Answers yes!!
