I have a 2009 Non-Turbo Hatchback and wanted to convert it to a Turbo Hatchback. I found a 2008 Cooper S at a junk yard and pulled off the Turbo and Header, Intercooler and intake manifold, a small coolant pump and an adapter plate where the oil and coolant go into the engine block. I figured I still need injectors, and possibly the fuel pump and probably a bunch of little things. I just wanted to reach out to see if anyone has done this before and what I will need to get it running right.

 

you will need more than that...almost a whole car...the engine block is NOT the same, so would need that along with pistons and shafts. The wiring is different, so you need that. you need the ECU/DME, fuse box on the passenger side, engine wiring harness and wiring modification to the cabin wiring. since the ECU will be replaced, you will need the matching CAS and Key fob.

Just buy a used MCS. I know people have installed bigger turbos but I've never seen anyone ADD a turbo.

 

 

better start with an aftermarket ECU or abandon all hope now
