The "S" comes with a factory supercharger. I believe that turbo systems are still being developed for the aftermarket.

There is a Turbocharger out there, if you visit
MinI Spares, which I think is the UK version
of Mini Mania, look at thier Catalog in the Adobe Arobat format. it's one of the first ithems listed. runs about $5,000.00

The short answer is no. No market. It's like selling hot water heaters in Death Valley.

How can you honnestly say no one will make a turbo for the Cooper S? A turbo is much more efficient than a supercharger is and anyone looking for serious power out of their MCS would be wise to look at a turbocharger.

Why not both a super charger and a turbo on the S at the same time?

YES AND YES ... both for both...

Upgraded MCS for S Better (more power/less $) than JCW
Turbo for MC It's amazing...
They are all amazing...

I cannot give any details, but you all will be drooling when they become nationally available.


SECRET!
