69 turbo or supercharger

The Group 5 regulations from 1968/69 would have allowed to add a turbo or supercharger to the mini. But I never found a document that this happened. I don't mean the VITA mini that was chopped and got another rear axle what would have transformed it into group 6. But perhaps anyone knows about a mini running in 68/69 just with a turbo or supercharger?
Maybe you can help to launch another project.

No one? There have been minis with a Shorrock or a turbocharger but I cannot find any documentation.

I know of cars that ran both Turbos & Blowers in the period, but none of them ran in group 5.
Sorry.

I agree with Mark, no Gp5 blown or turbo cars over here, only club racers playing with those pre '70 (and even post '70).

Nearby a Gentleman still owns the Vitamin, but seems to have no intention to sell. That means we continue to run the Arden and I have no idea how to get more power.
