Decided to up the power a tad on this thing.
On this generation of mini (supercharged) you swapp the supercharger pulley to create more boost so I had planed on doing a 15% pulley as max you can go really on stock intercooler but after a rethink I thought may aswell go little further and ordered a 17% reduction pulley with smaller belt.
Now this needs a larger intercooler to reduce heat , after much looking about on the net I've gone for the tried and tested Air tech tmic
You can see the difference in size and thickness
Il be getting the pulley fitted asap . Can expect around a 50hp gain from these too when combined with the filter and exhaust but will do a r/r to really see if these claims are true..
Suspension is on the cards but much more research is needed on that .
