Man, I raced a sleeper JCW Cooper back in Atlanta somewhere around 2010/11. My fg2 sc made 347whp. He spanked me.

Lorenzo is such a meticulous dude. Got a ride in this thing...such a crazy little package and well put together.

Awesome feature! I'm fortunate enough to have some of RPM's products on my MINI, and they are truly incredible.

@@I_vchris it will not cost this much. However, billet components of this size do have a high cost to manufacture. Its not about what type or vehicle it goes on. It is about material cost, tooling setup, programming, etc. Cosmetic design can also impact the cost of production. It is a lot involved until a product of this quality is made.

Hey Josh, its not an off the shelf turbo. We had it customized by SpectrumMotorsport to our turbokit needs. But I believe a good comparison would be a gtx2863~ with some minor changes. This specific unit was flow tested at 42lbs/min. Build based of a Duall BB CHRA cartage, custom milled 47mm 11blade billet compressor wheel, gt28 hot side wheel and .64ar hot housing in v band. I hope that gives you an idea.

Depending on your model, just downpipe and ECU remap can get you to 300+ My 2.0T JCW F56 is at 320hp/450nm with minimal work and maybe €3000 invested (this stock model is 231bhp) Bigger turbo, intercooler and you can get 450hp for sure which is crazy on a car that's lighter than a Mazda Miata
