HI 2fastcooper! Welcome to the MCO!

Are you partial to SC or would a turbo do? I haven't heard of any SC for the MCs, but there's at least one if not two aftermarket turbo systems available.

2fastcooper,
Aloha and welcome to NAM
If you are interested in a supercharger for the cooper engine then the best option is a Cooper S. For the $3000 price difference you get the 6 speed manual transmission the sports seats, the better suspension and wheels and the intercooler and supercharger, dual pipe exhaust, etc.

If you didn't like the weight and heft of the MCS and or the looks and liked the MC instead then fine. There is no way to add the supercharger at a reasonable price. No one does it commercially.

Hopefully additional vendors besides M7 will announce availability and prices for turbo upgrades for the MC but they are in the price range of about $2000 and above. There is minor to no turbo lag at 1900-2000 rpm and roughly 165 HP. Look at the pictures in this thread:

For the MC there isn't aren't many ways to add more than 15 to 25 HP at this time. Without spending a fortune.

Don't you essentially need an intercooler with a turbo? Or is it just a suggestion until you reach a certain boost level?
