Hi, Zax,

I'm not familiar with boosted engines at all, I only know theory. I'm wondering if there are such things as underdrive pulleys for the supercharger that would help keep it out of the thirsty boosted zone? Pulleys aren't too hard to switch out (again I'm guessing, never having lifted the hood on a new Mini) so it wouldn't be a major pain, and you sound like someone who's both familiar with tools and not shy about wrenching on his car. That would be a completely reversible modification.
