The 03 has the supercharger vs the current gen with the turbo. Isn't it a bit weaker than the current gen.

Just asking if where the areo kit is.

Yes the older ones made like less hp stock but its a JCW and has a smaller pulley.

Still probably slower than a new R56 with a tune except you cant tune the 10-13' anymore haha

VW NUT!
The newer JCWs have 208 hp, but more torque I believe. Our JCW was as fast if not faster than a newer Turbo JCW off the line. High end not as much. Also the older JCWs like ours were all dealer installed and didn't come with any kind of "aero kit." I think in 05 or 06 Mini bought JCW or something because they started having the JCWs come from the factory. Ours has just the 2 exterior JCW badges. 1 on the front lower grill and one on the trunk. Theres nothing like the whine of that supercharger though. Plus I've heard about more problems with the newer turbo Cooper S's and JCWs vs the older R53.
