Mini 1293cc turbo build 4 years in the making
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi guys

Just want to show my project I've been working on for the last four years.
It's been a complete strip and rebuild nut and bolt job, getting to the final stages and really happy with the results, have completed 80% the build myself to try and save the £££s with only the paint job and engine machining done externally, built custom parts for the engine bay to fit everything (found a lot more difficult to fit a turbo in than what I expected). It's been caged and has a real race feel even got a plumbed in extinguisher got a few cosmetics to complete and a aem wideband sensor to fit and commission the interior layout.

Hope it's been all worth it
