Is this a s or non s mini cooper ?

Awesome video mate!!😃💪 thanks for

did you say that when installing a more powerful turbine, the diameter of the exhaust pipe should be increased or decreased? my exhaust pipe is 63mm, is this suitable for this turbo? I have a B38 but on a BMW, it has the same turbine, the only difference is the presence of channels for water circulation in the exhaust manifold housing, so I am going to customize my turbine myself according to your example

Hello friend. Its really very intersting! If u can, give me the answer please, u use 4d56 TD04 49177-01510 4917701510 cartridge?

Explained this for me better than anywhere or anybody else.. much much thanks ! Now I can correctly set my aftermarket turbo on my jcw

Hi, this also for an X2 S20i 2.0l petrol engine?

I need some help, when i push the flapper all the way closed, then put my finger on the nipple, it does stay closed a little bit and it holds pressure but it doesnt stay seated

Question turbo smart actuator using the positive pressure assistance what am I getting source pressure from manifold or t into the factory valve I’m confused because doesn’t the factory valve only pull vaccume

Thank you very informative need more of these!

I’m looking to remove the TCM on my 2017 mini. Can you help?

$850.00 for a diverter valve…has to be a typo plenty of other upgraded piston diverters for not that price. What makes this one 6x more special?

How much power is this making?

Hi, interesting video, could you do some videos of the mini running? Thanks

Opel also uses vacuum operated ones.

In my opinion I race a R56 JCW I've replaced many turbos and oil supply lines and the oem version is the best unit the braided lines are garbage

Can i use it on my bmw 218i gran coupe

Hi, my wastegate is shut closed tight. The actuator is not holding pressure causing the wastegate flapper to be stucked closed. But I don't know why I am getting a P0299 underboost code. If wastegate is stucked closed shouldn't i be having overboost ? The car runs but has no power slow acceleration. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey! Sorry for the dumb question, but I didnt quite understand the upgrade. Do you change the cartrige or full housing, I have the 2015 f56, I believe its the older 3 port exhaust. And now i'm having oil inside the intercooler piping, so I think it is time for a upgrade.

You're talking nonsense, there's no way something from the clutch could get into your transmission and contaminate your transmission oil. The only thing that can cause metal shavings is poor shifting when tooth rubs against tooth. There is a magnet in the gearbox that catches it. When installing an LSD, you should make sure that you use the right gearbox oil. However, changing the oil is not a disadvantage.

What about manual transmission Coopers? What oil is best for them? You look at the manual and it suggest 50 dollar a quart BMW stuff. Is there really some magic sauce in the MTF-LT-4 fluid?

I feel personally attacked by this video, lol! Just kidding I am now much more informed about the ACEA specs. The oil I was using prior was Amsoil 0-40 ACEA A3, because I was in Wisconsin. When I came back to Texas I switched back to 5-40, but bought ACEA C3 this time. I gave my 10 bottles of oil to my brother in law for his 5 series diesel and switched my R56 Mini to the Liqui-Moly High Tech 5-40 which meets ACEA A3. If you need Liqui Moly Advance Autoparts sells it and has it in stock. I would make sure to buy a good oil filter element as well. I've been using Purflux filters for most of its life. If I am in a pinch I will get Mann or Wix (AKA forgot to order one online before needing it).

Hi, does the reliability suffer after the turbo upgrade? I understand there are supporting mods that need to be done. I am interested but I am still cautious. Also, can you show some pulls of the mini 3cyl with the turbo upgrade? Thanks!

Thank you I own an 07 R56 S and have been fighting a boost robbing gremlin.. your description of operation I found to be very interesting. My code is 2885 and so far it's kicking my butt. I've been a mechanic for 40 years but these days I'm a vehicle inspector. Anyone tells you that they know it all is full of crap. I don't give up easily and I've seen so many videos trying to find answers and this on is the best.

Are the garrett turbos used on mercedes diesel vacuum or boost actuated

Can we talk about him saying Cadillac converter please lmao

I have a 2012 mini cooper jcw. Whenever I open the flapper I get a code and low boost. But when I have it closed I get good boost and no code unless I redline the car. I have no idea what to do. I changed the boost controller and the vacuum lines and I have a diverter valve and a new wastegate on the way. I also have a new flapper coming but it's difficult for me to change it since I don't have a welder and I don't know how to weld. I'd also have to take the whole turbo out. I'm thinking I should maybe get a whole hot site assembled if I was gonna take out the turbo. And I don't want to change the turbo because it's a JCW turbo and the turbine has no play and it's expensive.

Thank you so much, I actually closed mine all the way I hope it's not too late 😂

So, an s42 is an upgraded turbo and setup at 1/2”?

For a BMW wastegate, how does the wastegate see vacuum while in boost to close the door further? I understand how at idle the vacuum of the engine pulls it shut and you can bleed that off by exposing it to atmospheric pressure, but what about needing to build boost back up while in boost if it's undershooting target??

I have a 2013 x3 bmw 2L turbo I took it to bmw dealership they diagnosed it after changing the actuator and hoses but transmission light still comes on after speeding up then no power then bmw said I need new turbo I can drive long distances on the highway don’t lose power or other issues please help??

Great video!

👍👍👍

Hi mate, my car is hyundai i30 1.6 diesel 2010, my turbo sounds like a siren, I have check the turbo there is no wrong with it and it, once I disconnect the vacuum line from the turbo actuator the sound go away and the turbo works fine with no issues

The is ecu located in the same place in a 2005 mini

I have a code 2883 comes on right way after clearing I checked the vacuum like it does feel like it’s creating enough vacuum to pull the actuator but idk what to change

When you put a new turbo on to make sure its not gonna be waste of money. Final stage Prime your oil line and physically see if its producing oil to the turbo! If you can't get it to produce oil on crank due to the new oil change that you should have done when you slapped that new turbo on. Start the car while directly applying oil into the turbo where your line goes and watch that line for oil if you dont see it in about 10 seconds it needs replaced...

This is an excellent video and explanation. Specially the safety tips. Thank you.

So is it good for a turbocharged engine to have it removed ?

I have a mini cooper s R56 with a THP. I notice that I have little power when I give full throttle we have tested the membrane of the turbo that works tested the vacuum hoses that all work well too I also replaced the pressure sensor but I still have the same problem ... could it be the wastegate the problem? sorry for my bad english

Thank you for making this video. You gave a lot of info on Mini Cooper

.Hello you can have your original part repaired at www.upfix.com Here is the service link www.upfix.com/product-category/repair-return/engine-control-repair/chevrolet-engine-control-repair/

Thanks for the video. It cleared up the vacuum wastegate operation for me.

Thank! Exactly the information I was searching for!

Thanks for sharing this info. I needed to remove my ECU for a stage 1 tune and your instructions helped immensely - even though you incorrectly labelled pieces a few times :). It was great that you identified the tools in advance, and gave detail about the various clips that connect the wiring the the ECU.

Don't you feel silly going through all that mess to just change a battery? I only need a wrench to change out my battery on my Ford Fusion and NO tutorial! LOL! My father-in-law and watch this and change his own battery. Now that I saw this, I just can't!!!!! :-P

You imply that the coked oil flakes fall into the turbo when you take the lines off so how will putting new lines in solve the problem the coked, flaked off is still in there.

How much should I have to pull my actuator arm out to slide over the pin with the engine running ? Should it only be a few mm to pull out the vac arm with it running and under vacuum? Thank you

great video help lots

Good videos....keep em coming!

When you say "Have problem with your turbo". Do you mean consistant issue? I have a problem but When I remove the codes or run it sometimes then it makes pressure and boost the engine. Sometime I receive rough idle and poor acceleration with only P0299 and P2263 limp mode codes. The turbo is almost new.
