SU won't be happy with boost, the MG Metro Turbo had a special version of the SU to work with the turbo.

You can also buy a turbo rebuild kit for the HIF44 SU, and convert it into a turbo SU

From what I have read a stock engine should handle up to 6-8psi boost.
one of the guys on here built a home brewed set up
