My Torque Pro II app proclaimed it was a vacuum leak at the supercharger.

Some quick investigative worker with my vaporizer revealed the OEM intercooler boots were cracked and leaking air both before and after the supercharger.

Lucky for me, I live 15 minutes away from DDMWorks and get a Mini Club discount, so instead of paying $120 for crappy molded rubber OEM boots, I was able to get some snazzy silicone units with a nylon core for under $30.

I decided on Red.

Kinja'd!!!

Because pizzazz.

So that’s why these things are so popular at meets nowadays

Yep. Take a big pull and then blow the vapor all over the engine bay. XD

WAIT. Your Mini JUST THREW A CEL. Something's wrong, it should've been on the whole time

I take very good care of my cars, thankyouverymuch.

Also, I’ve only had it for 20,000 miles, since bought it 13 months ago. >.>

For all I know, it threw 6,417 CEL’s before I knew it and the original owner got tired of the yellow light and traded it in for a Camry.

Or maybe the Mini didn’t like the prior owners, threw CEL’s to scare them off, and viewed my purchasing of it as upgrading owners?

....My car traded in it’s previous owners for me- the new model.

IT’S ALIIIIIIIVE!
