INTRODUCING: 200 HP MINI COOPER TURBO
The high performance Turbocharger has a built-in adjustable wastegate factory preset at 5-7 psi minimizing turbo lag and maintaining drivability. The kit also includes 2 additional fuel injectors with a supplemental Control Unit to meet the added fuel requirement. This system increases horsepower from the stock 115HP to 200HP!
The kit bolts onto a stock MINI Cooper without major modifications, and takes approximately 12 hours to install. A tubular stainless steel manifold feeds the turbo and downpipe exhausts the used gases.
I got this as an email....tech aspects only..
Can the Cooper engine handle this???

Mini Mania just put out a super charger for the MC. Price tag is about $5000. Not to bad since you pay 3000 for 165 in the MCS, whats another 2g and more hourse power to boot. check out the link.

Wow! 200hp in a mini sure does sound like fun, but I wonder about the viability of these claims...and the ability of the 5 speed or CVT to handle this amount of power.
200hp is a 74% increase over stock power with no modification to the compression ration (hence the relatively low boost of 5-7 psi). I'm not saying it can't be done, but I'd want to do a lot more research on this kit before installing it on a car of mine. The web page makes no mention of a piggyback ECU to manage detonation...maybe it is part of the "controller".
I'm anxious to see what becomes of this kit and others like it! 200hp in a mini - WOOT!
