PowerProg. ECU upgrade

Has anybody tried this ECU modification?

I have had the Minipowerprog for over a year and the performance is great and similar to the MTH. I'm very happy with it and I will buy again if I get a new Mini. Henry

Thanks Henry,
Did you gain the sort of results that they are claiming? & have you had your car on a dyno since installing 'it'?
Steve.

Is it a custom fit that you can select rev limits and other settings or a preset set up?

I had it on my car. I thought it was ok at first. I do have a problem with pinging. After ahile I took it off and noticed my pinging was cut in half. So I have since left it off my car. The customer service was ok, but since they are in another country it was harder. I personally wouldnt recommend it, but thats just my personal opinion. I had better results with a JCW flash from the dealer, but near future Im going MTH.

I believe the options are:
stock
Intake
pully 12%-18%
pulley 19% or above
catback exhaust
full exhaust

I have had mine installed for over a year and I don't have any problem at all with pinging and make sure you use high octane fuel on it. I love this software. The RPM's stays the same according to the Powerprog team. I took my car for service and they din't notice my powerprog at all. I can reflash my cpu any time I want. Henry
