Recall

"D.O.T official report: The Mini Cooper S, has had having several reports of cracked Eaton superchargers, these model years include 02-04. The factory has reported over 38 deaths of the casing actually peeling away and throwing shrapnel cracking windshields and severe cuts etc. All of the cars with this defect will be replaced with a new, bigger Eaton supercharger"
I'm trying to find the link for it. I'll find it later, so what does this mean for us 02-04 guys, maybe more power ? I dunno , im calling my dealer now though!

Sweet! I'll take a bigger fatter supercharger any day of the week!

I wonder if I should go ahead and install that new pulley or wait for the next generation of pulleys?

I'll take two of those superchargers for my MCS.
Twice as much fun.
Hope I don't blow up.
