Hello, iam new to the mini club as i have just acquired a 2013 JWC which hit a dear and i am trying to rebuild it. I have read that the turbo from the S model is different than the JWC model. Can anyone point me to someone who has a stock unit which they have upgraded? or maybe there is a company that sells an upgraded turbo for the JWC model? Thank you.
I have no experience with these folks.... http://www.jmturbocoopers.com/Cooper-Upgraded-Hybrid-Turbo.html http://www.frankenturbo.com/new/F21M.html
I have zero knowledge on second generation turbos but Welcome to Motoring Alliance the best MINI forum on the interweb !!
Thank you Guys. Called and left a messege for JM to see what they can suggest. If anyone has an OEM JCW Turbo that you have upgraded please let me know and ill gladly buy it off you.
The JCW Turbo is different than the S turbo and it's more expensive. These guys have you a replacement- http://www.detroittuned.com/engine/?sort=featured&page=3
G-Pop Shop upgraded my turbo. They can port them, ceramic coat everything. Really great to deal with. Between my tune and upgraded turbo and supporting bits, JCWs end up behind me.
Contact Chad at Detroit Tuned for OEM JCW turbo. http://www.detroittuned.com/mini-cooper-s-jcw-turbo/ MINI Cooper S JCW Borg Warner Turbo! This is a brand new stock Cooper S JCW turbocharger that is the same turbo that came from the factory on all MINI Cooper S’s (154 kW). Comes ready to install just replace your gaskets. We also recommend doing a super kit install at the same time to save you time down the road. Turbo comes complete as shown in picture. Will fit any MINI Cooper S and has the bigger compressor side, wich allows it to make more boost, but special tuning and other parts may be required to use on a non JCW car. NO CORE CHARGE.
