Frequently Asked Questions Our Mini Turbocharger Service
Below are some of the frequently asked questions we get about our Mini turbochargers.
Do Minis Have Turbos?
Yes, most modern Mini models have a turbocharged engine. Since 2007, MINI has used turbos in models like the Cooper S, John Cooper Works (JCW), and Cooper D to improve performance and efficiency. Some base models, like the MINI One, may have naturally aspirated engines.
What Year Did Mini Go Turbo?
Mini introduced turbocharged engines in 2007 with the R56 Cooper S, replacing the earlier supercharged model. From 2014, all Cooper S and John Cooper Works models adopted BMW’s TwinPower Turbo technology, upgrading to a 2.0-litre turbo engine for better power and efficiency.
What is the Top Speed of the Mini Turbo?
The top speed varies by model. The Mini Cooper S can reach 146 mph (235 km/h), while the John Cooper Works (JCW) model tops out at 155 mph (250 km/h). Lower-powered turbo models and diesel variants typically have speeds between 120 and 135 mph (193-217 km/h).
Do Mini Coopers Have Turbo Problems?
Yes, some Mini models, especially 2007-2013 R56 models, have turbo issues like oil leaks, carbon buildup, wastegate rattle, and oil starvation leading to failure. Symptoms include power loss, excessive smoke, and whining noises. Regular oil changes and proper maintenance help prevent these problems.
