Turbo Cooper
Street Intake
During testing we discovered that the stock intake on the R56 MINI goes into vacuum during hard acceleration choking off the engine and restricting maximum power. The goal of the street intake was to open up the intake and allow the engine to take in as much air as possible, increasing power, providing better throttle response and faster turbo spool. The Street intake was designed to be a two stage system, as a standalone intake or working with our Ram Air Scoop which feeds high pressure ambient air to the filter, further increasing throttle response and power from the engine. The K&N filter allows the sound of the turbo spooling up and the blow off noise of the bypass valve to be heard during shifting. The intake kit consists of a unique bracket that locks into the bottom of the stock intake creating a pocket to hold a high flow filter. The filter is then connected to the air flow meter using a silicone connector secured with stainless steel hose clamps. All other hardware on the intake is also stainless steel. Complete installation can be done quickly and without any modifications to the car and can also be completely returned to stock just as quick. The intake is offered in Black matte powder coat. Custom colors and finishes available upon request.

The DDMWorks Ram Air Scoop (RAS)
A nice upgrade for the Street intake is the Ram Air Scoop. The shape of the DDMWorks RAS was designed to accelerate the incoming air from the hood scoop and keep feeding cold air into the turbo and engine. Two air diverters on the back of the RAS direct the incoming air down and wash the filter on the street intake with a cool ambient air supply. By attaching the RAS to the bonnet, regular maintenance of your MINI is completely unaffected with the intake installed. Things like spark plugs, oil filter and oil fill are just as accessible as stock. The RAS attaches to the bonnet using existing mounting points, requiring no drilling or modifications for installation. Testing showed that open filters without the RAS in place see good temperatures during light cruise, but during long pulls the temperature of the incoming air continued to climb as the turbo heated the air coming in through the hood scoop. With the simple addition of the RAS on those intakes, temperatures stayed only a few degrees above ambient, which resulted in better throttle response and more consistent power. All hardware included with the RAS is stainless steel. No modifications of the vehicle are required for installation.The RAS is offered in black matte powder coat for a stock appearance. Custom colors available upon request.

R56 Race Intake System
DDMWorks is proud to release our R56 Race Intake System (RIS). The intake comes in two parts, the RAS or Ram Air Scoop which makes use of the non functional hood scoop that was just waiting to be used as an intake source, and the DDMWorks PFB or Pressurized Filter Box. With the complete race system in place, your MINI’s filter is washed with cool pressurized ambient air coming in from the front of the car. The whole system working together insures improved throttle response and maximum power consistently for your MINI.
The DDMWorks RAS (Ram Air Scoop)
The unique shape of the DDMWorks RAS was designed to accelerate the incoming air from the hood scoop and keep the new intake box under pressure forcing even more cold air into the turbo and engine. Two diverters on the back of the RAS direct the air down into the filter, and the RAS seals with the top of our pressurized filter box (PFB) to ensure a cool ambient air supply. We also wanted regular maintenance of the car to be unaffected with the intake installed, so even with the RAS mounted to the bonnet of the car, regular maintenance of your engine is just as easy as stock. Access to the spark plugs, oil filter and oil fill are just like stock. The scoop attaches to the bonnet using existing mounting points so there is no drilling or modifications needed for installation. The RAS can also be purchased separately for use with other intake systems that leave an exposed filter in the back of the engine bay. We learned during our thousands of miles of testing that exposed filters without the RAS in place see good temperatures during light cruise, but during long pulls the temperature of the incoming air continued to climb as the turbo heated the air coming in through the scoop. With the simple addition of the RAS on those intakes, temperatures stayed only a few degrees above ambient, which resulted in better throttle response and more consistent power. The RAS is offered in black matte powder coat for a stock appearance.
The DDMWorks PFB (Pressurized Filter Box)
During that intake testing, we learned a lot about the new turbo MINI. A simple filter attached off of the Air flow meter did a really good job of freeing up the intake on the new R56. In fact this simple intake proved to be a real good bang for the buck. However, we did not want to produce just a good intake, we knew we could do better. So we took the time to seal the intake with a covered box that installs easily over the bottom of your stock intake. With the system in place the RAS seals with the PFB resulting in a pressurized system at speed that eliminates restriction before the turbo like no simple filter intake system can duplicate. It also keeps the air coming into your MINI at ambient, a big plus if you are looking to make consistent power during long full throttle accelerations at the track. The PFB comes with a K&N filter that really allows you to hear the turbo spool and the bypass valve sounds during shifts. The intake is offered in DDMWorks Black matte powder coat for a very OEM look. Custom finishes are available upon request, please email info@autoxcooper.com for more information.
