Small Bore Build.
Turbo Mini Forums

Thanks :) and power is fun! still unsure :( Ill have a read and see

You can fit a turbo small enough that it won't noticeably lag (at the expense of top end of course)

I would go turbo because supercharger are bulky / heavy / expensive to replace.
Also, with the turbo the engine have "two faces" whereas I guess with the supercharger, it just feels like a bigger engine from the bottom of the rev range and up

Rusty by nature

Very true and a small turbo would be fine and i don't want top end 70 is quick enough ;] and ill drive round town and on back roads more than on motor ways and A roads :)

Don't you just hate the weather (N) well Hopefully going to get something done on the mini over the weekend!!

hopefully can get some welding done soon

Can you do a proper Side exit along the sill exhuast system on a mini :)?

Yeah you can do what you like within reason.

Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

If its a good solid car you would be mad to get rid of it, no doubt there is some way you could keep it.

Dads gonna ask his mate to come weld it for me so i can get it rolling again

What needs doing?

both floors out sillers drivers inner wing boot reapir panel vence boxs and heel borad

Sounds like the usual stuff then, i would avoid that boot floor repair panel, the one that is decribed as the last 10" of the floor, its one of the worst panels i've used. in comparison the the rear lip on my hertiage rear panel it was miles out. try and use genuine where you can imo. :)

yeah ive cut the boot out already to see how bad it was and ordered a Non gen boot floor repair and it fits fine thank god :)

Shame to hear your won't be able to finish this.
