The Garretts, not the only thing wrong with the metros. But certainly the 
loudest.

The Metros used the Garretts. But sadly, the Dash 10 versions have 
only been recent additions. However, they are derated so there really 
is no additional power available at take-off. An engine out past V1 is 
a hair-raising situation.
