Video: Turbocharger Upgrade!

In this video we replace the factory turbocharger with a higher spec JM Turbocharger, replace the charge pipe and factory down pipe, and modify the front of the exhaust system on our R58 JCW MINI Cooper Coupe.

This seems a cheap alternative to the almost $2K OEM turbo.

Considering the fact the JCW OEM is already bigger, I am wondering where is the real benefit of an aftermarket other than if the car is only raced.

Furthermore, your site mentioned that only the OEM is street legal for emission standards. I would be very concerned if it fails and cause serious damage to the engine if still under warranty.

Where did you find that cold side charge pipe? I can't seem to find it.


Thanks!
