I went with the Megan Racing system and love it. See sig for more details.

Aye second that. But can the supercharger guys read is the question?

[nikoamok]

trottle buddies are alright but gains are not more than 30 hp.. i did it on my peugeot 306 gti-6 straigt bult on with efi an everything... expensive 25 hp gain danm redid the engine from at 2.0 to 2.4 new head cam everything 280 hp... yes and it sounded f.... great...

I'd be curious to see how a RMW 2.0L "stroker" would work in a Cooper (non-S) application... I could see that possibly putting out some decent numbers while keeping a stealth appearance...

Definitely won't be cheap, though...

Is th general concensus on the lightweight crank pulley doesn't do much for the N/A cooper? I was looking at that mod and felt it may be worth the $150 pricetag.

Perfect! A home for our shared wisdom (and mistakes)!
Love it! Thank you.

That is absolutely badass looking. I wish I still had my Mini. I'd probably order that.

Well, to me, that's the equivilant of a single plane manifold on a V8. Great high RPM power, nothing down low. There's no runner length to create velocity and therefore, low end torque. With that, you'd have to have the head and cam to back it up, also. But, I'm sure with a good top end, quality exhaust and requisite tune, 140-150whp wouldn't be out of the question. Opinions?

Just added that to the wish list of mods.

I'm very happy to see this thread! I've been discussing back and fourth with PGT about getting a CooperS vs. the Cooper.

The devil on my shoulder is telling me to get the S. Coming from a Legacy GT I will be missing some power.

But than the angel on the other shoulder is telling me to get justacooper for the fuel savings since I have a bit of a commute and mod it to my likings as I go.

[andrewholmes]

anyone know if the polished intake would work from mini madness or is it only for the s (BOO) version

Cute.

But really though. I'm just curious to the power gains on it. More enough to tear my midlands apart I'd imagine.

[snid]

It's vaporware anyway...

[07BPB]

If I got that I would want to be there when the dealer pops the hood for a service.

[SHOCKER]

UKSUV, where'd you get all your clear signal covers? been looking around a bit and haven't found any. :(

[AggieMini11]

there are some on ebay

[jgarcia08]

i'm going to lower my '06 MC, i just need the lowering springs right?

[jbkone]

UKSUV, I'm going to do a 6-spd swap too. Which flywheel did you order? Why? I'm going to get a lighter one myself adn am shopping. Found them from about 10 to 13 lbs (i think). Lighter is better, right?

[jbkone]

OK, says right there in your post you have Fidanza. How do you like it? I've heard about 'chatter' at idle... any problems? why did you choose that over any others? Just trying to make an informed decision.

[rjtrout2000]

DItch the run-flats and get some race rubber! You won't be disappointed.
