I think it's MINI, but I don't trust it. If they are a legit vendor, who would they only be using Ebay?

Have you seen the banter "legit" venders put up with in this forum?

That can be true, and I'm not by any means claiming to be all-knowing, but I would just think that if the vendor was doing research and truly making a custom MINI turbo system, there would be something that someone would know about them, and they would "hopefully" have a shop or something. I'm just generally wary of Ebay-only vendors for parts such as this. A pair of speakers is one thing, but changing significant components with adding the turbo would be something else. Of course, someone will just have to prove me wrong, right?

Turbish

I was reading in Go Mini, that Pilo in TX is working on a bolt on turbo package, but was still in testing (trying to break it) phase.
I don't think they would let one out on Ebay till it was finished, if at all.
They had their's on a non'S' test car Turbosonic.
Just wait till the warranties are up!
Some Mods will happen.
