    saxo vts tuning

    If not wanting throttle bodies! The popular route for saxos is a raceland enclosed induction kit with a green filter! 4-2-1 or 4-1 manifold! i recommend piper! i had 1 on my 106 gti and sounded immense! For exahust, a btb exhaust is the ultimate but rare and discontinued or go for a magnex...

    As already said, get rid of the 5 inch backbox!! must sound like a wet fart too! Fuel pressure regulator will only make things worse! If you are after more low down the a throttle body conversion is your best bet! GMC motorsport do a bolt on throttle body kit from atpower! Add this with a set of...

    53cooper s.. supercharger not very super?!

    This is pretty typical of the bypass valve on the supercharger becoming weak! Basically the spring on the bypass valve has either snapped or become weak over time! I think they are around £60 from bmw/mini and can be fitted yourself if you have the haynes manual aswell!

    Upgraded cooper superchargers

    Technically the m45 is exactly the same from a normal r53 cooper s to a jcw package, the only slight diffrence is the rotors on the s/c are teflon coated to reduce heat.

    04 Mini Cooper S

    Have you done any work to the suspension or brakes??? The standard r53 brakes arent the best of brakes! R56 cooper s calipers with 294mm discs are a popular choice in the mini tuning world. For engine, i would look at a decent intercooler as the m45 s/c starts too produce more heat when a...

    Shame that ALTA do #!#!#!#! products though. I seriously wouldnt buy there turbo kit, its very basic and requires more work than its worth. Plus there are other kits out there mainly from the U.S though!
