    The Supercharger on my 2004 R53 has given up....122k miles, nose seal appears to be leaking, and rattling noise from the supercharger area....seems like classic diagnosis.....

    Knowing this day was coming, I've been keeping up with the various companies that offer rebuilt superchargers....I'm considering using Detroit Tuned's offering as it appears they have developed some improvements to the Eaton seals.

    Question, does anyone here on the forum have experience using Detroit Tuned's supercharger offering?, or do you have a different recommendation that you have personal experience with.

    I have 0 experience with the Supercharger they offer, I can say that they are a reputable parts supplier for the MINI world. I've had nothing but great experiences when buying from them. Plus, you get a free bottle opener with your order :cornut::beer

    I have first-hand experience.

    It's worth it.

    Nothing more to be said.

    What he said. I wouldn't even consider buying from anyone else.

    Give Chad and the boys at Detroit Tuned a call. You will be glad you did.

    I recently had cylinder head work done at Detroit Tuned, and could not be happier with the work done there and the people at DT. Chad, Nick, and the rest of the crew are awesome. They will see you right. :Thumbsup:
