Supercharger

Hello- pretty new to Minis and having fun! Question is I'm replace my Supercharger and wondering if anyone has reused the Inlet gasket? Getting one is gonna take a minute and its all I need to put my Cooper back together. Thanks in advance!

Never reuse gaskets no matter how good they look.

Are you talking about the gasket that connects the SC to the intercooler horn or the gasket that connects the plastic intake duct to the SC?
If it's the one on the intake duct that's ok to re-use. I re-used it when I had my SC out for a PTO rebuilt and again when I installed a DT BPV.
