Satellite broadband should be not called "broadband." Took me like 20 min to download, but well worth the wait. Sounds like an anrgy truck! Kudos to you guys.
I really can't wait to hear about drive-ability, and then reliability of course.
Quiafe baby!! The only way to roll with that much HP!
I have a friend in the business that can get me in and I have to be in LA on business the M-W of that week anyhoo.. Damn I hope this works out..
Oh and I know you were talking to MYPocketRocket but I have been posting here too so I thought I would chime in... since it could be easy to confuse us..

I'm going to Sema this year so I will be looking for the car. I can't wait for them to release this kit. So I can put it in my car. The video was awsome, the sound was awsome.

I don't think an LSD is going to fix the wheelslip on a FWD 2700 lb car with 265whp.
Did anyone notice a connection to the coolant tank (stainless tubing)? Maybe we have little help to keep the heat from building up caused by the turbo..
Though that doesn't sound correct because the water in a Mini s is 190 degrees
I must be seeing things .
For $5-6k that's a killer deal. I've just created this account but I've been following this thread since the beginning. If you think about it for just a little bit more then the JCW kit and have this incredible HP/TQ curve. Also a M3 has a weight/power ration of 3415/333(at the crank)=10.25lb/hp and the cooper s will be at 2720/265(at the wheels)=10.26lp/hp! Hubie mark me down for one turbo kit!

My guess would be that the SS hose is stricktly a precaution - proximity to the turbo & HEAT its producing - certainly not coolant temp. Turbo'd be a lot hotter than 190. Wouldn't want to melt the hose, now would we?
i think i might cry.... because i can't afford my MINI....and this came out....and I am selling it....and here come the tears.... .....trying to hold them back.....
