Add Horsepower to 2014, 2015 or 2016 Mini Cooper Turbo with K&N Performance Intake
- 2 Dec 2015
The Mini Cooper is an automotive cultural icon, so whenever it undergoes a facelift, any car guy worth his weight in motor oil worries just a little bit. Thankfully, the 2014 redesign of the Mini Cooper didn’t disappoint. The Mini Cooper became a hair less mini yet still remained smaller than most subcompact competitors. It gained additional rear seat legroom, cargo room and a pair of new turbocharged engines. While the new 1.5 liter and 2.0 liter turbocharged engines provide ample power, there’s still room to add muscle to the Mini. Add a guaranteed increase in horsepower and torque to 2014, 2015 and 2016 Mini Cooper 1.5 liter or 2.0 liter turbo models with K&N Typhoon performance air intake system 69-2026TTK. The 69-2026TTK air intake system is an easy to install performance upgrade and comes with all the hardware necessary for installation. A mandrel-bent aluminum air intake tube replaces a portion of the factory turbo inlet pipe to help streamline airflow into the turbocharger. This tube incorporates a mounting location for the factory mass airflow sensor and is finished in a durable flat black powder coat.
Attached to the new K&N air intake tube is K&N RU-5176 conical performance air filter. This filter is designed to help minimize restriction in the airflow pathway while the oiled cotton gauze filtration media provides superior engine protection. Another benefit of this K&N air filter’s design is that it’s washable and reusable and can go up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions. The filter is shrouded by an application specific heat shield, and reuses the factory fresh air ducting to help provide cooler air from outside the engine bay. Put all of these precision-engineered parts together and you have a recipe for increased performance. On the dyno a 2015 Mini Cooper 1.5 liter turbo produced an estimated additional 6.5 horsepower at 3200rpm and 11.0 pound-feet of torque at 3200rpm with K&N air intake 69-2026TTK. For a small 1.5 liter engine, those are some impressive power gains. Increases in performance for 2.0 liter turbo models will be similar, or maybe better, when 69-2026TTK is installed. K&N backs its air filters and air intake systems with a 10-year/million mile limited warranty and a Consumer Protection Pledge so Mini enthusiasts can feel confident that their automotive cultural icon is covered. The heart and soul of what began over 50 years ago with the Mini Cooper is alive and well today in the newest generation. Give your little piece of history a boost in performance with the K&N 69-2026TTK Typhoon performance air intake system. K&N air intake 69-2026TTK is designed to enhance the performance of the following Mini Cooper models: 2016 MINI COOPER 2.0L L4 F/I – All Additional Mini Cooper performance intakes can be found on the K&N Air Intake Systems for the Mini Cooper page.
