Thinking of adding my first upgrade..
I have a R57 and I'm thinking of adding an upgrade. It's a 2010 with a certified warranty still in effect, so I don't want to do anything that would mess that up. This is my daily driver and I'd just like to try and add a little power. Whats my best bang for the buck if I'm looking in the $350ish range?
Thanks..

There are several small parts we can put together to give you some increase for that budget. Feel free to call us and we'll discuss options and put something together.

If you get an intake you can hear your turbo spool and gain a little power.
I think thats a good start.

S model or base Cooper? If S Forge Diverter Valve, it will improve your turbos responsiveness.

JB+ is the "gateway" mod. Install it and you won't stop.
