Hello,
I was sooooo close to order the Alta R56 gauge pod and the Alta MAP Stand-off Plate until.......

I checked, my car is the UK spec R56, therefore no MAP sensor. So now, I can't tap boost using the Alta MAP Stand-off plate.

I've tried posting up in the UK Mini forum, mini2.com but no one seems to post a reply.

Can anyone please advice on how i can still tap boost for my gauge, i am looking for a neat and clean install just like how Alta worked it out with their stand-off plate.

Thanks

 

You got that backwards the Euro cars dont have a MAF sensor on the intake track, but do have the MAP sensor... So you should have no problems.

 

^+1 You can use our kit on any EU car with no issues!

 

So the MAP and MAP sensors are physically the same and the Alta stand-off plate will work either way?

 

The MAP sensors are the same on both cars. The MAF is just missing from the EU cars.
