It's ready-to-ship now? THat's impressive.
Wow. I've been reading from some vendors for something like 9 months that a turbo Cooper kit was "Ready any day now" so this is wonderful news.
But I'm not going to be the first to plop down $2000 to try it out. There is no evidence they actually installed it on a MINI and got the thing to run properly.

Having a full engine bay I would not want to guess where things go.
Cheers,

I wonder if this is the kit originally developed by Cooper Turbo Research in San Marcos that MINI Mania was supposed to market? The 6psi boost spec is what makes me think that. The CTR article is here, http://www.miniworld.co.uk/content/bmw_supp.html.
Nothing about needing to beef-up the gearbox or the crank?
