Default Mini Cooper S mods??

Mate unfortunately crashed his 2 litred XR2 the other week and is on his way back with a replacement garage filler.

It's the earlier Supercharged Cooper S, what are the best mods to do that won't smash the bank balance?

From what I've read you can get different size pulleys for the supercharger which are effective

You can get 15, 17, 21% reduced charger pulleys, cam, oversized and lightened crank pulleys, intercooler, brakes, all fairly priced, but being a BMW nothing is ever cheap for them compared to a Ford!

HBowever you can get them up to about 230bhp for about 2k and they fucking shift!

They take well to a bit of NOS aswell....
