New here. R53 recent purchase

Hi all. I guess this is my first post. I just purchased a 2003 cooper S. It already has a full invedia exhaust, 15% Alta pulley, and a k&n cold air intake. Typical plus size rims and newer brakes were recently installed. I’m a mechanic, but in the moto field. It had 78k miles on it when I bought it. Heard the nasty sound of the pto going out so got it cheap. I have it apart and am looking at the sprintex kit right now. I have new 440cc injectors to put in still and a new better flow and cooling Intercooler but not sure fit to buy the sprintex or get a new SC m45. Any tips would be great.
I found you guys doing searches for Mini stuff and found all the threads helpful. Thanks for being here!

Welcome to NAM

When you make a post you will see a yellow postage looking stamp on the bar above where you are typing, click on that and you will be able to upload pictures from your hard drive

If you are going with larger injectors it makes sense to put in a cam and get a tune.

Welcome

Before doing a sprintex I would do a lot more research. If the car was in our shop we would just put a new supercharger on it as that will work great and be reliable.
