Default Retrofit a mini to a mini s?

Howdy, I'm going to be picking up my mini today (it's my first ever car infact) and I'm really excited. That aside, I'm already looking at how to upgrade it The first thing I'm going to do isadd sattelite radio to it. But does anyone know how easy it is to retrofit a turbo charger or twin charger onto a mini - afaik they use the same engine as the S's now. Thanks!

If it's an 07 I'm not sure but if they're like the 02-06 to add boost you pretty much need a whole engine from an S, they're totaly different. The general opinion is that it's MUCH cheaper to just buy an S.
