Just been on the Artel Motorsport site and they are doing Mini hoses in silicone rubber. Might get a coloured intake hose for my R56.;)

I fitted one recently to my S3 and it makes the turbo spool a tad better with a nicer sound...tis niiiice....id assume the Mini would suffer the same type of fate ;)

no pictures of it ? :(

The guy said he will be putting the picture up on Monday as they have only just had the hose made today.

cool :D
