Radiator

It looks like there are 2 radiators on the front of the MINI. If you were to mount an FMIC for a custom turbo, would you take out the lower?

one is a radiator and one is the AC condensor. I will be giving up the condensor once I turbo (cause of the FMIC).

A big mean FMIC always looks sweet.

Ive been thinking about the turbo idea. Right now I have 2 years to think. When and If I get it, I will already have the uprated tranny. Then Ill get a t3/t4 turbo, a new cylinder head, cooper s driveshafts, and one big a$$ FMIC!!!! But Ill buy the new tranny in High School, cause Im gonna need it eventually anywayse, If I decide to do it, then it will happen during college.

I just dont wanna sound like everybody here who always posts saying they're gonna do it "For sure" then 2 days later they realize it hard, and back out. Im gonna give it time and not rush anything. I think Im getting a remanufactured t3/t4 turbo from a friend dirt cheap.

Well...I say I'm gonna turbo...and I am "eventually". I'm plotting all my parts carefully. I want to do it right. Plus, I spent most of the money on my current parts that I acquired from the local SPEC Mini race team. Anyways, "when you get into high school?" How OLD are you?
