I'm still wondering what fruit you were talking about in the other thread.

Where'd you get your GP?

Cool stuff! I've always like Laminova cores and it's nice to see them being adapted to the Mini.

I know it's a bit OT but Jan, please get on some R56 stuff! I've been researching all of the stuff you've done for R53's and us R56ers need some of your go fast toys!

Not really worth the pressure drop IMO. If you already have IAT's 10-12 degrees above ambient, what's shooting that through an A 2 A going to do... lower it another 4-5 degrees? At the cost of .5-.8 PSI of boost?

Danny looked into doing this a few weeks ago, it was determined that it was a waste of money.

You all need to get this thread back on topic before it turns into a burger flame war.
