Hi, new to Turbos but not that new to mini's.

Looking to start a 998 Turbo project, done a bit of research so far and i think i have the jist of it all.

If anyone lives or will be in the hertfordshire/Bedfordshire area and has any of the bits i'm going to need feel free to get in touch.

Mike.

Welcome. All the information is here. Not too many 998s, but a growing number.

I'm planning on keeping the 998 for a while yet, taking it on as an ongoing project. Hence the planned turbo modifications.

I'm with Wil_h on this. I've had a 998 turbo for a couple of years and am now building two more.

Great engine for a road going turbo mini.

Cheers for the welcome guys, i'm in hatfield for university, living on campus at the moment. Mum's house is in harpenden (just south of luton), there some weekends, and my dad lives in essex, near harlow, and i'm there some weekends as well.

I'm sure i'll be calling on your wealth of knowledge sometime in the future to help me fix what i've broken..

I live nearby too. (Bottom
Of the a1 near apex corner) Currently sorting out a mini for mot and the next stage is turbo. Perhaps we should meet up soon. Would be good to speak to people who have already done it.

Thats cool, not to far at all. Yeah, i need to get some more money together first, and start collecting bits.

Hoping to spend a weekend doing the conversion, so long as i dont have to alter the bulkhead it should be manageable. the i'll spend the next to years probably fixing/tuning/playing with it...

Are there any Mini clubs around here? I had a quick look a while ago but could only find the As of Herts.

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.
