More info from Manic Motorsport, "Nearly all of them change the data area. Thats how they tune. Thats a small amount of data to upload. We go beyond that, we rewrite the whole ECU. Thats why they cant flash 2010 onward. Its the equivalent of being able to alter the data in a spreadsheet against being able to change the spreadsheet itself and all its formulas plus the data in it. So we can also upload more than one map and switch between them at will. The other tuners cant offer that either. Uploading any software update on a phone, xbox, ecu or anything carries a risk. If it crashes or looses connection doing it yourself you could be in a bad situation if its stuck in reflash mode. Its dead. A manic dealer can rectify that with our help in half an hour."

The JCW that is putting down 261 bhp from the Manic tune in johntotah94's video looks like an N14 engine to me....based on the valve cover design. Another thing that isn't mentioned is that we don't know how aggressive Manic's stage 1 tune is. I think a stage 1 with 261bhp from a JCW is impressive. Even more so if it's a safe/reliable tune. I'm impressed with this as a tuning solution for the N18 community (especially if they have the ability to tune a GP!). As a N14 JCW owner though, while Manic does impress me, I would and am going a different route. Folks like DNA tuning and Evolve still strike me as better OBD-II tuners for the N14 just because of their experience. Nothing at all against Manic; just my bias/preference. Honestly, it's just good to see yet another MINI tuner!!

It's a N18 with the cover taken off. EDIT: (Last video of the first post - yellow MINI). The video with the blue one is an N14.

I think their gains are in line with others. The "news" here is the ability to tune the N18 via the OBD2 port.

this tuning option looks like it has good potential. i particularly like the option to upgrade turbo and cylinder heads, altho i'm not sure if i'd want to test how much power the remainder of the engine will be able to handle.

Same question what is the price and do they map the auto trans n18 turbo.
The auto trans (from what I understand) has a two way communications dialog with the ECU not present in the manual transmissions. The only tuner that I could find that has their head around that is RennTech because they deal with mostly auto trans in Benz tuning.
