I have 2010 MINI Cooper S, owned it just over 2 years, and just discovered this wonderful forum! I hope to learn a lot more about this car from this community.

I am currently in Kingston, Ontario for my studies.

Question: How do I post/view pictures on this forum?

 

Welcome to the forum. How do you like your Cooper S? I have an 04 Cooper S but it's supercharged. I've never driven anything that's turboed. Cheers mate.

 

Turbocharger are quite nice since the max torque kicks in really quick, at 1600 rpm, although I feel that it's somewhat mitigated by noticeable turbo lag on hard acceleration

 

I'm sure with a couple of go-fast parts, that turbo lag would be remedied.

 

Haha that thought did cross my mind and on Top Gear episode there is a crazy German mod that brings 275 hp on a Mini, but that's too crazy for me

 

Yeah that would be just a little too much for me also. haha! maybe just a little over 200hp would be good enuff for me.
