a bit random i know but bear with me, how does a turbo'd mini drive?

i've driven & been in other turbo'd cars but whats a mini with a turbo like as i have never even been in a fast mini of any type, be it 1293, 1380, or a standard un-modified metro turbo engine mini!

i was pretty suprised at the vid of Mr Benross's mini on youtube, it looks bloody quick! & also the 998 turbo mini video but as yet i have no clue

whats it gonna be like or compare too, or is it a new experiance!

SKYLINES ARE LIKE CLITS, EVERY FLANGE SEEMS TO HAVE ONE: see this sticker on my silvia

the Search-section on this forum is blummin superb & simple to use, unlike some other forums, without the search-section & the help of this bunch of chaps on here i'll never be able to !!!Start the day with a 998cc turbo!!! :) i'm getting closer though!

quick and scary. Although obviously it varies massively depending on the car and the mods it's had. I've been in 6 or 7 now and all share one common theme, made me grin like an idiot. *happy*

I'm quite excited about getting my turbo mini finished, as I've only been out in one quick mini, which had a vauxhall 1.6 8 valve lump, and that was quick with only 110bhp.

yer iv been a passenger in benross's turbo mini and its bloody mental!!

it feels more or less the same aceleration as my mates dads porche 944 turbo! which is 250bhp i think, obviously the top end is not as quick but who cares about that? lol

im hoping for about 160 bannans from mine once its done and it should be light as well!
