New Mini Laurel
 

Found out about this model a month ago and bought it today. Thought about buying a MCS 2 years ago. A 6 speed and a twin scroll are a nice combo.

Pics Pics Pics :grin:

Twin scroll.... As in supercharger?

Am I lost or just in the wrong section?

:thumbsup:
My mistake....I celebrated a little too much. It's one or the other right?

LOL, well, if you're talking about forced induction...yes.

Twin scroll refers to a supercharger, R56's (2007+) use turbos.

No big deal, I was a little confused... thought you came across something we all missed...lol.

:thumbsup:

congrats...

+1 :thumbsup:

Welcome to the wonderful world of Laurel ownership!

I know, I know...took you forever to post up pics. :lol:

Everyone above is right...you got the new model which is turbocharged (mine's got the old S/C). I should have told you about that...

Welcome to NAM! Great folks over here...you'll like it. :thumbsup:

So...when do I tell my wife I bought it? You know the deal. I never asked for permission....now I have to beg for forgiveness. If she takes it and leaves I'm going to miss Coop. :lol:

She missed it out front in the drive or in the garage. Hummm. :lol: :razz:

Congrats on a nice looking MINI.

Now that one I would not have the cajones to do. More power to you.

FYI,

cajones = drawers

cojones = balls

Sweet ride..Congrats! It's always easier to do it and ask forgiveness than spend all that time and energy begging/hoping for agreement/acceptance.:nod:

Maybe I'm a bit confused, but the MiniUSA site says the 2009/10 R57 with the Turbo has a Twin Scroll turbo (see attached).

That's what I thought I read. I'm confused also

I dunno... perhaps there's more to the design on the turbo... I don't see any correlation but then again, I don't know much about the inside workings of their turbos.

Regardless, it's still a turbo.
