OMG I have been trying to tell you this crap forever.
I have been looking at the TSI Turbo kits and I have only seen good things about them.
Simple kits for a nice price. The Mini Coopers can not get the Extreme kits due to the lack of space for an intercooler. You could fabricate an S intercooler but I bought a DSM eclipse intercooler so Ill jsut mount it in place of the battery and run the S scoop to it.
So yeah....haha

i seen this before but dont you have to change internals to actualy support the turbo. Just throwing this in would probably do some damage to your pistons and cam shaft. Also wouldn't you loose hp changing the compression ratio of the mini already, since it already runs at a high ratio already.

Getting the turbo and all the piping wouldnt be a problem. But getting a turbo manifold would be the only thing, haha unless you want to go custom.
The t25s are popular but this kit DOES NOT come with a T25. It comes with a T20.
You can obviously upgrade. But with these small turbos there should be no turbo lag haha.
Ive already talked to the people that make this kit.

Mini Mania came out with a turbo kit for the Cooper back in like '03. It was unveiled at the SEMA show that year. I think they sold it for like 2 months, if that.
The reason why nobody offers big power adders for the Cooper is because it can't handle the power, stock that is.
If you were to take a Cooper S engine/tranny and swap it out into a regular Cooper, then maybe you might have something to work with.
If you want to go fast, and tune for speed, get and S.
If you want to look cute and add all sorts of chrome accents, go for the Cooper.
BTW, a lot of those kits on ricer websites are pretty much 'universal' fit kits. That being said, you could fit the same kit to a honda that they offer for the Mini.

Yah...this looks a lot like the generic kit that they were selling a few years back for the Cooper. A buddy of mine ordered the R50 Cooper kit and when he got it he found that it was basically just a collection of parts that he would need to custom fabricate a kit....rather than just being an actual kit.
