Call Jan @ RMW... or even Eric and the guys at Helix...

Jan was the first to break the 280 WHP barrier with Hubie and the TC set ups for MINIs... he is very familiar with them...

I am still using an Apexi AFCII Select for mine... it works great... but there are things Jan can do now like Scale the injectors and things of that nature that really help the cars run even better... I have 550s so you can imagine how nice it would be having the scaled.. all though I do love throwing flames! LOL

Why?
All the Genius does is read/write ECUs (and not even all ECUs, as in other makes/models). If you want to modify the files it generates you would need other software.

Exactly. Someone with expertise the rest of the "Race" tools could send me the appropriate maps.

Nice and easy like that.

It would always be better to have someone on site, though. My location sucks.
