Not really it is just easier to have people bring cash than trying to deal with credit cards or checks.

I would love to do this and see how much extra ponies I can get out of this engine, but I'll have to wait until the warranty's up.

However, things are a little better now with work and the finances. So, I am in on that Saturday. I also need to have my 440 injectors put in since I'm still running stock with all the upgrades I have.
Forgot SharoSC02, too

The 440 injectors run $325.00 a set from Jan plus labor. I have 3 sets on order for the guys that said they needed them. If anyone else need them please let me know.

Dunno if he'll have the same set up on the road as he did in SoCal, but I paypal'd him. always worth asking, as long as you don't get pissed if he says no

Hi Checkers,

Would an R50 benefit from the Jan tune? If so what is the cost ($)?

You'll get more HP and Tq with the tune plus better drivability. I also got better mpg.

I have a Jan tune on my non-S Cooper R52. It was well worth it. Much more torque at low rpm and faster throttle response. Increases everyday driveability. Made a big improvement for driving in stop and go traffic with the air conditioner on. Cost is the same as an R53.

This question wasn't answered. I'm curious of what the price of tune/injectors/install would be. Its quite a drive from PDX but it might be fun

Most likely gonna use one hour, 30 minutes will get you a good base dyno. Injectors are $325.
PDX? Where is that?

What?

Seems to me that one hour dyno for each car is appropriate.
