I just bought a 2008 R56 and I would like to know were to connect/tap the boost vacuum line on turbo models? Also were is the best spot to tap into the wiring for +12volts, ground & panel lights (location & wire color code)?
The forum has a lot of information on 1st generation models but I'm having problems finding info on 2nd gen.

Thanks, Jim

 

As far as I can tell, there's been precious little information released about Gen2 Minis. It seems to be a combination of they're still fairly new and BMW's being tight.

 

Alta has an adapter that they will sell individually to allow a boost line without drilling. I would check their site. Also, minijayhawk has a thread about mechanical boost installation in an r56.

JSC Speed has a nice tap here:

Thanks for your info and link to JSC Speed.
