Thanks

If you have time to wait, they appear on ebay fairly regularly. You could also try a WTB post in the classifieds here.

Selling price seems to be between $150 and $500, depending on condition, with the 2005's bringing a premium.

Normal wear and tear? Or did something happen?

What is the mileage count on your MINI?

I did a google search for cooper superchargers and this what I found...

http://www.superchargersonline.com/p...cooper_rebuild

Hope this helps. As the SC is an Eaton SC you may want to check with:
http://www.magnusonproducts.com/

They don't list MCS, but those are the guys that rebuild Eaton SCs.

Hope this helps.

14,800 and to my knowledge nothing happened except that with the mods I have on the car I should be pulling 17 to 18 lbs of boost and 205 or so wheel horsepower. I'm nowhere near that and my boost is dropping.

did you perhaps blow a gasket somewhere or do you have a loose connection on anything?

i would triple check everything before dropping up to 500 bucks on something that wasnt needed.
