If you are looking for a great street upgrade that delivers full race performance this is the turbo for you. It will deliver great torque, spooling at 2000rpms, and last long. For race applications we recommend high flow / low backpressure aftermarket exhaust system which will allow this turbo to reach its full potential. This Turbo is engineered to be a reliable and high-performance upgrade turbo for Mini JCW (up to 255hp) and this version is built in the USA!  

Maximize your power gains with the ECU upgrade from the supplier of these Turbo upgrades.

CORE DEPOSIT

Additional Core Deposit is charged with every Turbo order. Core charges are refunded when a 'Rebuildable' and 'matching' core from your MINI is returned and inspected by the manufacturer.

All or part of the core deposit may be forfeited if the core:

  • Is severely damaged and not rebuildable
  • Does not match the unit being purchased (ie. if you send a stock turbo and order a JCW unit, part of the deposit is foreited).

The amount of core refund is determined at the discretion of the Turbo Manufacturer.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Read the Manufacturer's Installation Requirements below - THESE ARE REQUIREMENTS YOU MUST FOLLOW IN ORDER TO VALIDATE THE MANUFACTURER'S LIMITED WARRANTY - NO EXCEPTIONS.

Also read the related Tech Articles listed at the bottom of this page.

Some States (like California) have ever tightening requirements for emissions testing and inspections. Always check your local regulations on compliance for street use.

OTHER PARTS TO CONSIDER

Gaskets, seals, studs, and other hardware are NOT included. If you need to replace these items, order separately.

See our Turbo Install Kit. This kit includes all the most commonly replaced gaskets and seals, plus a new oil supply line. Additional gaskets, seals and other hardware may be required depending on the installation.

When servicing the Turbo on the MINI, it is very important (maybe even critical) that you replace the Turbo Oil Supply line to avoid potential future turbo issues.   (Included in the Turbo Install Kit).

Over time, the turbo and turbo supply line builds a fine layer of 'coked' or cooked oil on the internal surfaces. When you remove the supply line from the turbo, this disrupts the continuity of the coked layer with great potential of some of the coking to flake free. These coked oil particles can easily clog the fine journals that feed oil to the turbo bearings. Once the the oil flow is compromised, it is only a matter of time for cascading failures that can damage the turbo and catalytic converter! Don't take a chance - REPLACE the Oil Supply Line ! ! !

For additional protection, take a look at the Turbo Oil Supply Line Thermal Wrap.

For other TURBOCHARGER related products, see our TURBOCHARGER products page.

OUR ADVICE ON DRIVING A TURBOCHARGED MINI

We STRONGLY recommend you change the motor oil more frequently than the factory recommendation. Anecdotal evidence suggests Turbo's with more frequent oil changes have fewer issues. We suggest 5000 mile oil change interval or less. Make sure you use FULL SYNTHETIC motor oil with the ACEA (Association des Constructeurs Europeens d'Automobiles) A3/B3 specification.

After a long or hard drive, drive 'easy' for a while just before your destination. This will reduce the engine and oil temperatures to lower operating levels. Also make a habit to let the engine idle for a couple minutes before shutting off. This will help cool the turbo preventing oil coking in the journals and bearings. Yes, the MINI has an auxiliary water pump that runs after shutdown to help cool the turbo, BUT - the oil isn't cirulating - it just sits there waiting for the turbo to cool. This is why we recommend you idle before shutdown - let the oil circulate while the temperature comes down.

MANUFACTURER'S INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS to validate Manufacturers Limited Warranty: 

[ ] Replace the turbo oil supply line with the turbo.
- - - Due to excess heat round the turbocharger and particulates suspended in the turbo supply oil the oil will harden or "coke~ in the turbo and oil supply lines. If the oil supplyline is not replaced with the turbocharger the coked oil will break free from the side walls of the oil supply line and damage the turbocharger bearings. Cleaning the oil line will not help and only aggravate and increase the likelihood of the turbo failure due to coked oil breaking free form the sidewall.

[ ] Replace the catalytic converter on mini coopers before installing a new turbo.
- - - The Catalytic converters in the downpipe and B pipe may look clear but if any oil leaked into it some of the holes might be blocked and will cause back pressure. This starts to happen on Mini Coopers at 15k miles! Exhaust back pressure causes premature failure of the turbocharger. Turbochargers are not designed to have pressure on the exhaust side. As an alternative, have your catalytic converter refurbished to restore original flow.

[ ] Prime the turbocharger.
- - - No oil on the turbocharger bearings will cause failure of the bearings if they are dry even for a short period of time. Prime the new turbo with oil before you connect the oil lines.  For maximum protection, see Turbo Additive for Priming New Turbo's

[ ] Fresh engine oil with a turbocharger change
- - - Perform an oil change with full synthetic motor oil at the factory recommended viscosity when you install a new turbo. Change the oil again after one heat cycle if:  the engine is brand new, newly rebuilt, or if your MINI had a catastrophic turbo failure.

Question:
I have a 2014 mini countryman S ALL4 with stock everything other then a muffler delete and a drop in high flow intake and my question is with this turbo upgrade does it use all the same hardware and even bolts up to the stock exhaust manifold? My other question is will this turbo make the car stutter and have issues especially when driving hard or will the car act the same as if it had the stock turbo? And would I need a tune for this? Will this turbo will operate like stock with a stock tune in all rpm ranges and throttle positions? Furthermore I’m assuming a tune would be beneficial for the car and for the turbo
Answer:
Yes, the G2NME2840R is a 'bolt-in' replacement. You can use the stock hardware and bolt up the stock exhaust manifold.
You shouldn't have any driveability issues

In order to get the most from this upgrade, you should upgrade the intake and exhaust to improve flow and reduce backpressure.
The JCW engine has a slightly lower compression to accommodate the larger turbo, your MINI does not. The JCW also has a different intake and exhaust and ECU software.
If you want to get 'JCW-like' performance, you will probably need to have similar upgrades to the JCW. The turbo alone will not achieve this although it should raise the boost pressure slightly.

Yes, it will operate like stock and an ecu tune will help the performance.
Please note the manufacturer's installation requirements on the product page to validate the warranty.

Question:
My turbo requires replacement due to a diagnosed waste gate leakage causing a sensor to detect this condition, causing the check engine light to illuminate. My question is, I’d rather purchase the refurbished turbo due to the lower cost. Does the refurbished turbo have its waste gate re-machined to ensure a tight seal?
Answer:
Yes, the refurbished turbo is reconditioned to meet new turbo spec's or better, so the waste gate seal is tight.

Happy Motoring
