Hi everyone, just joined the site as i'm going to be turboing my mini.
Had it for a few years now and recently changed from 1098 to a mild spec 1293, got bored and decided i was going to supercharge it but then i saw the light and am now going to turbo it!
So i'm sorry to say. but expect some newbie questions *happy*

James.

Turbo is a more efficient and well know way of making the power, that's pretty indisputable. I'm still going to try various thinks with superchargers to see what I can achieve

Another reason SC's are for girls is because they whine! *tongue*

When we have seen a supercharged A series Mini run in the 13's then we will change our opinion. Until then they are officially rubbish. See the name of the site, it kind of gives it away, TURBOminis.

Well you know how to make people welcome don't you Tom!!! No wonder there is nobody with superchargers on here if you speak to them like that.

plenty with superchargers, just very few who claim they are better than turbo charged A series for obvious reasons.

Proper way to supercharge an a-series.

I'm yet to see any, they all seem to be on TMF where admin don't attack people over their choice of running gear *surprised*

I'd also like to see where I said supercharged is better than turbocharged. If your refering to the comment I made to John then you'd also notice the banter before that.

John, I've been getting advice from Johnny on TMF and he's sent me pics, etc to help me out with mine.

Glad to hear that, hopefully they will stay on TMF making mediocre power whilst here on TM we'll push the boundaries.

Fair point. However that wasn't the "last" rr session that was the 2009 one. And yep rubicons pickup didn't do very well especially with the slipping clutch.

I was there and saw a couple of cars running more than 250 and plenty running 200+. None of them where supercharged...

BTW Welcome to TM James.

Sorry for spamming up your introduction thread.

I'd also take up the offer of a name change. Just drop one of the Site Admins a PM :)
