You can use a supercharger of the new mini's with a few custom brackets and omex standalone management. Can get more info if you want from people who have already done this conversion if you want.
But this deffinately will not work especially with the size of the bay and the amount of heat the engine produces as standard.
With the turbo being in the boot what's the difference between boosting it with a supercharger or a turbocharger? both produce no heat (in this case). I'm also already ducting air from the bonnet over the rear manifold to help as I know it's a weakness
The charger from a new mini probably won't push enough air, they only rate them for up to a 2.0 displacement though I'd love the sound of one there's really no where to put one
