That HKS filter/SSBOV looks like a trademark of a certain person I know. And the mad welding skillz got better too!...lol...Supercharged or Turbo Mini's suck....NA is where its at maaaaaaaan!
I am soooooooo Jealous!!! We don't get anything like this in australia, and no one is capable of doing it either. Keep up the great work, I will watch as I mop the drool up off the floor!!
Ah, crap. Sorry about the breaking of ***** there in the beginning. After the 320HP M45, I was too eager there to jump on someone.
no problem.... we get people claiming stuff all day long. Like I said earlier, getting 300whp+ on a stock M45 without exotic stuff isn't going to happen, at least overnight. It's down to make a few hp here and there now as we got the easy hp already.
Our competition has a long way to go to get to this level. It's a different ball game above 240whp with the Eaton. We can make 240whp in our sleep with very little money spent compared to what it used to cost. For what some sell for 10-12k and make 200-220max will make 260whp now not to mention 230ft lbs of torque
got any pics of the exhaust manifold for the turbo? My experience has been that most are prone to crack (Alta Twurbo anyone?). it would be nice to see what works?

I'd buy one of these as decoration if I had some rediculous cash laying around. Granted, the car in the driveway with money like that, who knows what it would be? Does it come with the Hot Wheels?
Most? that's a large word... most.... I think you meant THERE'S has been prone to crack... this manifold has been tested since 02... CRAZY HUH?!

no, not crazy. UNPOSSIBLE!!
I'm just passing along the comments I've heard from two manufacturers and a few Alta owners. Perhaps it's just the Alta, but I was under the impression the MINI has some serious challenges to overcome(heat cycling, space, stiff suspension, vibration, etc....all things that can kill a welded manifold).
not to mention 230ft lbs of torque
