S intake manifold on a Cooper

I know that the injectors are different. But has anyone put a S intake manifold on the Cooper?

Just wondering and how would this change things?

LOL, I bought a used intake from this guy ^^^, for this same purpose. Not that he didn't tell me anything different from what he's telling you. Just thought it was funny that he was the first one responding to your thread. I thought about the low end torque loss and wanted to cam it accordingly. Make a high RPM screamer that was still NA. The injectors fit just fine off of your old intake. An adapter will have to be made or re-drill the flange on the intake(S) to adapt a TB. Also, IIRC, the harness will have be made longer and drill and tap the "S" intake for the installation of a vaccum port for the Brake booster vac supply. And then program it.
