2004 supercharger replacement
First time mini owner and Looking for help on replacing my supercharger. I found a low mileage supercharger out of a 2005 mini and want to make sure it will fit. The salvage yard is saying according to there interchange guide it want work. To my understanding it’s the same supercharger so I’m trying to figure out what changer in the 2005 and up models. I’ve searched some thru the forums and couldn’t find anything and apologize if I overlooked the answers if already posted. Thanks

$500 is a reasonable price. Go on YouTube and search for ModMini supercharger service. He goes through the entire process and also shares the tools and replacement seals you will need. Take your time and do it with a buddy and you'll be just fine. While you are in there, consider swapping out your water pump. It is easily pulled when removing the supercharger and may save you a time-consuming service later.
