Anybody install this yet? Can our stock turbo and engine handle this upgrade with other high performance mods, ie. turboback, fmic, intake, + boost tubes? Will hp gains be worth it or minimal? Any thoughts or comments would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

once you have your chip you won't need it.

no need to be the beta tester on a pulley no one knows anything about.
They weren't a good idea on the r53 and probably won't be on the r56 either.

 

Says who? Why would you leave any extra HP on the table especially considering the prices for the other existing mods for the new generation?

WE will have ours out very soon, and I will do the DIY, feedback, and real dyno results. If it doesn't do ish we will be the first to tell ya. But we expect the ALTA part to be helpful, and not do damage etc. to the motor. But won't happen until we verify for sure.

 

haha nice adam, always finding ways for us MINI owners to empty our pockets for you! I just put the turboback and fmic on order, having already installed the intake, boost tubes, and inlet tube. The last thing would be the chip, but prob not til may...when are you expecting your pulley/tests to happen? Thanks for the feedback!

 

Thanks! Will have that ASAP!
