As im still learning about my mini.
Could someone kindley enough tell me some answers to a few Questions please :)
I got this picture of the net.

Could someone tell me what number (1) is called, and whats it meant to do.
Same with number (2),
And i take it number (3) is the turbo.
Plus, should any of these be cleaned with anything, or changed over a period of time.
Thanks once again lads :)

1 is the plenum chanmber

2 is the actuator

and yes 3 is the turbo

no need to take any of them apart and clean them really, though you may want to put your fingers in the big hole covered on your pic by the actuator pipe, and wiggle the compressor turbine to see if there is much play. A little up and down is ok, but if its alot, or if it moves side to side a rebuild would be wise

I think Nic means a little sideays rock is fine but any play along the length of the shaft is bad. Hope that is clear .. if not, I'll try again.

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...
