Default turn a standard mini cooper into S?

i've owned my mini for about 3 years now and i love it! but lets face it, if i had an S i would be loving it a little more. any one know of any conversion kits out there for the engine? i would love to do a turbo mod and upgrade the internals. i've tried google and other search engines. still nothing. any one know of any sites?

There are several turbo kits out there ,I've not heard ANY good things about them you don't say year ...

With the HUGE upfront cost then having to redo internals ,and install the kit, I'd sell yours and buy an S

It can be adapted but there would be a huge huge electrical adaptation to swap the electrical harnessses and computers to get that to work ... Again probably cheaper to sell and buy another "S"
