Hi, I'm New
Hello, I am new. I plan on buying a Mini S 2007 in the next few months, I am having a problem deciding if I want to go ahead and get a 2007 with a turbo'd engine or a 2006 and under with a supercharged engine. I personally prefer turbo. I just wondered what was the best, easiest to work on, easiest to gain power. I am a from the "import tuner" world, lol, so I have a built Civic, but its time to grow up for me. I have always wanted a mini and I was very excited when they changed over to a turbo motor. Any advice???? Thanks!

Yep, if you plan on tuning it, get the supercharger. There's nothing for the turbo yet and it's proving very hard to tune. You can get 250 whp with bolt ons, a head and a tune with the older engine.

The only thing I honestly would hate about the supercharged version is no BOV!!! Its like a disease, I need it!

Haha, there's a bypass valve... I suppose you could make it whoosh if you really wanted to.

RE: Hi, I'm New
Yes the S/C is easy to add more power... an underdrive pulley is an easy upgrade ... Until someone cracks the fuel computer for tuning the turbo is harder to build unless you want to try to run standalone fuel management...Header and exhaust are all bolt ins and remember the best part NO TURBO LAG!!!!!!!!
