Or if anybody has experience with this that would be greatly appreciated. You can comment on here or email me at [email protected]  once I get every thing going I will be posting videos on YouTube of how I do all of the setups and how every thing fits into the car. I have searched lots of forums and looked all over for any talk of a base to turbo conversion but so far have come up empty handed. If anyone knows of a forum and or a person that’s done the conversion if you could put me in contact with them I would appreciate it. Thank you!

We do not have a solution for a Cooper to turbo conversion, but there are many differences between the Cooper and Cooper S engine making this conversion rather complex.

Best of luck to you!
