In some recent photos from the 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon it seems Blitz may be close to releasing a turbo for the R56 and had one on display at the event. I still have to contact them and ask about it. Any one else hear anything about this?

This is the best shot I found of it.

 

It's been almost 8 hours, we need more info.

 

I sent them an email asking them about it and this was their reply.


Hi Robert, I'm afraid you have been misinformed, Blitz Japan have never released a turbo or compressor kit for the R56 Mini Cooper.

prob a vw/audi kit.

 

Doesnt Alta have a Turbo out for the R56? Price is a bit up there though.

 

looks like a k03 on a vag

 

Yeah their Billet Turbo:

They state its more than 'just a K04 upgrade'

 

Yeah I wasn't sure about this either when I came across it. It seemed plausible since they had a MINI as one of the 2 cars featured in their display. Oh well that's a shame. The exhaust they make looks nice though.
