Hi all i am in need if a stock intake (air-box and the snorkel to the front grill) as well as a stock super charger pulley for my 2005 mini cooper s And any mounting hardware for them. I'm looking to buy from someone on the forum who may have done an intake and pulley upgrade and wants to get rid of them send me a price thanks
I recently bought my car and there is a giant gaping hole sawwed in the bottom of my air-box and the snorkel piece is missing, no possible explanation for it. Also has a 17% reduction on it which is no good for my highway travels.
I'm in canada so canadian parts are preferred but usa is second.
also if anyone knows how to remove the pulley with out jacking up the engine i would appreciate the info.
thank you all

Why is a 17% reduction pulley no good for highway travel?

Maybe to do with economy? high mileage motorway miles? thinking of reverting back to standard will save on fuel consumption? as the charger will be revolving at a slower rate thus sucking in less fuel?

yeah my highway fuel economy is terrible i'm not sure what it is but the one day i used like a quarter tank on a 45 min trip, and if i drive halfway across canada to visit my family i'm worried about the supercharger dieing. that and the 17% spins it to fast for the high rpms of track use (so i've heard) which id like to try :)

Breakers yard will do. As long as they look in good condition it'll be fine. There is a way of getting to the pulley by removing the wheel and all the bits around it I think. You'll need the pulley tool to take it off too. Or give it to the garage to do. And do the intake yourself it's rather easy. Always got eBay

I cant buy these parts at the auto wreckers they don't seem to keep intakes cause well how do you brake an intake? and they will not sell the pulley without the super charger. i cant even buy the stock pulley from the dealer.
There must be someone out there that wants to sell these to me :)
other wise it will have to be aftermarket which i don't really want to put the money into

Got all these parts but I think the shipping to Canada would be costly from Florida.
