a question about modifications

Okay, i know i've not been around lately (been working too much), but recently i've started looking around for any modifications i could find for my R56 (non s). I want to try and find some forced induction, but i cannot find ANYTHING. I went through the vendors on the site earlier, and i've searched online, but all i can find are things for the S, or for older coopers. does anyone know of a shop/online store that would have forced induction or other mods?

I love the cooper, it just needs more power, or more cowbell. not sure which one.



oh, btw, my brother-in-law is trying to decide on a model to get, and is leaning towards the JCW S. :-D

Not heard of any forced induction for an R56 Cooper. As for other mods, DDMWorks has a cold air intake in the works for it.

thanks, i'll check out DDMWorks tomorrow.

oh, and if you're wondering why i asked in this section of the forums, it's because you are all mostly close to me, so you would know shops (hopefully) in this area who works on them

I could certainly handle anything your R56 needs/wants. I don't see much development in the Cooper aftermarket relating to power adders, so I usually recommend suspension and brake upgrades, intake and exhaust and keep your fuel mileage intact. I am actually impressed with the power that the new Cooper makes, considering.
