Hi,

Certainly the Mini Spares 5 speed box states not for turbo use.

If you choose the right ECU you can use it to control the boost as well as the ignition and give the transmission an easier time, much like the metro turbo.

Cheers 

 

Am I still okay with a carb if I'm using an ECU?

Hi,

Yeah carb no problem. Just get everything rolling road tuned and your good to go.

The way I look at it is there's modern technology available now that can be used to get results that were unheard of 15 years ago, you can run higher a compressio ratio, protect your engine, even your gearbox.

Obviously with better control of timing comes improved MPG easier starting, and it doesn't cut out in the rain 

Cheers
