OK some points from a ballie that successfully turbo charged a 1600cc Daewoo motor to over 180kw @ 0.7 bar boost.
Pistons MUST come as close to the head as possible, to encourage quench - ESPECIALLY on a turbo motor, this will ensure cooler pistons and reduce the likelihood of detonation.
Make sure u use pistons that have oil holes and NOT slots behind the oil rings.
8.8 to one is a perfect turbo road compression ratio.
Get a turbo proof head gasket - Cometic are brilliant, but costly.
T2 is a good choice for the Mini - But there are better more modern equivalents, - Enzio knows more here.
