    Question Not sure how to go.

    My car has zero reputable manufactures that produce turbo kits for my car, a Mini Cooper Non-S.

    Well, there is one, kind of. Turbo Specialties. They have a kit for my car that comes with everything including a Garrett turbo. It costs around 2-3k though, if I remember correctly.

    The kit does not come with an intercooler because there is no space in the bay for one. I could figure something out but..

    Should I just peice together a kit or buy this one?

    Either way will require custom work. Just looking for some input

    Thanks for those who help.

    Im sure you could piece a kit toghether. The hardest thing would probably be the manifold but im sure someone like mainstream could help with that. What type of fuel management can those use?

    There are manifolds because the Cooper S have twin charge kits.

    "Why dont you just buy that kit?" Its 3-4k if anyone was wondering lol.

    I think I may start working on piecing it together.


    I mean I know all the components and their functions and what goes where, etc. I have been looking into this ever since I bought the car.

    Piece it together and have a reputable company build the manifold or a local one that can do many test fits.
