lol steve, lets go on a hunt for his MINI... i have a feeling he doesn't exist.. =p
or a 16 yr old with rich parents, who bought him the car and gave him 10k for his bday so he spends it on a turbo upgrade, then realizes his stock ECU won't "adjust" to it and give him 55psi boost on his stock front mount, so thus he must now increase the diameter of his MAF to give him 60,000x more of air because 2.75-2.5*NOS= MAD air and super turbo powah!
wait wait, lets all guess what his next post will be...
no more than 10 words im sure and nothing relating to HARD FACTS
i'd like to see him at one of the meets or rallys we have here =]

stock 1.8t pistons are forged...
Mahle 142 is a proprietary alloy similar to that of 4032. Stock VR6 pistons are cast however and 500+whp can be had on the stock bottom end with a headspacer. On a motor that wasn't boosted from the factory to boot.
Is there a ETKA type of program available for MINI's? I'm curious to see who the supplier/what the composition of stock MINI S internals are.

Off Topic, I just had my tensioner replaced due to its collapse because of many cold starts. I'm at 14,000 miles and it just collapsed on me. So he's right, however, its only a 20.00 dollar part and only takes hour labor to replace for all those wondering about non-warranty replacements.
duude, ive had the car since august and i'm at 12.5k already HAHAHA geez, im catchin up quick, i gotta stop motor'n so much

No, a 28rs will not make 375whp... Good luck getting to the low 300s. What injectors are you putting in, I hope they're FSI ones this time... And you still wont answer how you know the stock injectors will be maxed out, there are no tunes yet so we don't know IDCs!
And forged rods and pistons have nothing to do with the noise on idle. The FSI injectors are really loud anyway, more likely that and a slight lack of oil to the head when cold.
Don't hate on cast parts, forged isn't necessarily necessary. People going 9s on VW AEG cranks that are cast. Supras have cast pistons. 1.8ts have cast pistons and there are several people in the 600whp range with oem pistons.

it will work ok with the stock turbo at 19psi max

the atp turbo kit is set at 15 psi on the wasgate you are seing only 8 psi because your tps is closing to prevent damage and you probaly get fault code stored in the ecu now witch reduce the boost thru the tps

I never said anything about drop in kit if you read all my posts but it wasnt anything out of the ordinary as far as fitting new parts to a car goes. You will need some sort of tuning to properly run the turbo.
Have you got any pics and maybe a vid of your setup ?
