Well before anyone else jumps on ya. you cant upgrade the pulley on a turbo. since there isnt one. I see you have a 2011 if your wanting more power the accessport would be the way to go for the price

Op would need a bench tune since the AP will not work on the N18 ecu atm.

Sorry, No Pulley and No AccessPort for a 2011! AccessPort will not work on the 2011+ MCS cars.

Seems you're just s**t outa luck with that 2011.

I think you'll need to read about turbocharging vs. supercharging before investigating about "turbo pulleys"............

You can upgrade the compressor wheel if you want though just not a pulley.

Think it is stealth advertising for the next new Alta product?!
Just kidding....maybe....lol...
pullies are for gen1 cars with a SC....if you want to doq the old hotrod trick and put smaller pullies on your alternator and ac to slow them down...and get an extra fractions of a few % of a hp or two to the ground, go at it!! But for now i think we are all assuming you are getting the performance bolts on's on a 2002-2006 r53, 2006-2008 r52 S GEN1 MINI mixed up with getting a bigger turbo or custom tune on a gen2 turbo 2007+ hardtop, 2008+ cabrio mixed up. Just read and learn...many threads on this stuff!!
