I have been looking around and have been told you can litterally bolt up the chevy sprint 3 cylinder turbo into a Metro.

Anyone done this? I hear the only mods that have to bo done is plumbing the oil lines.

your best bet is to get a complete turbo motor and wiring harness out of a 89 or newer canadian metro. it would run with just the turbo but it would run to lean and you would start burning pistons. the factory setup had seperate injectors instead of a tbi setup, it also had a intercooler and hood scoop you can make your own intercooler make up a seperate injector for when its under boost but factory already designed all that. also the turbo made 78hp. if you really want to go fast drop in a swift GT motor, 100hp stock. that about double what the stock metro makes

I was more looking for the novelty of saying its a geo metro GT LOL but functionally I was wanting abit more torque to get over some pretty big hills on my way to work, as I live in the mountains, and have to drive 55 mile each way to work. also without sacrificing oo much on mileage.

I suggest you get a 3Tech economy camshaft and advanced timing gear! This mod will give the car more pulling power for hills and better fuel economy.
