2.0 montego Turbo carb?

Can anyone advise what carb was on the 2.0 montego Turbo - I think it was a SU HIF44 - is this the same as the metro carb?
It is to go on a 2.0 zetec.

Does anyone have one for sale?

Why not use twin delorto's as you can get a pressure kit off the shelf so they work with a turbo. Knock up a plenum and you have a far more tuneable setup than one small carb!

I believe thats the carb, I used it when turbo charged my bike. Very easy and forgiving but not very tuneable! Might be a bit small for a 2.0 zetec,

I dont really wanna run stupid boost - Just thort since the montego was a 2.0 then the carb should be big enough for the 2.0 zetec and easy the set up

The Metro turbo and the Montego turbo both had the same carb.
This carb would be a good choice for a low turbo car. You will need to get a rising rate fuel pressure regulator.
How are you going to control the ignition?
The 1275 Metros has a HIF44 as standard, but you must use a turbo carb as these are different. They are also like rocking horse poo!!!
