I did a quick google search and didn't find a bolt on turbo kit. Custom anything is a pain in the ***. They do seam to have quite a few performance up-grade parts for the little bugger though. Head, cam, under drives. Looks like they have a semi healthy aftermarket.

Just google "Fireball Tim" to see what you can mod a Cooper to do.

Remember the new cooper is very different the older supercharged one was easier to mod than the new Turbo one.

Great cars though and proves that FWD cars aren't crappy handling things. And just think it isn't the best of the FWD handling cars either. Unfortunately the better ones aren't for sale in the US.
