The modifications you mentioned would be fine to run a stage 3 map!
The list of parts needed for different stage maps can also be found on the AccessPORT page under the stages tab.

Yeah I was looking at that but it isn't very clear. Plus stage 3 on the JCW says you did it with a 3" turbo back. So 2.5" is ok?

Update: April 2012
The ALTA AccessPORT does NOT work with 2011+ Cooper S Models.
The ALTA AccessPORT does work with 2007-2010 Copper S Models (Hardtop, Convertible, Clubman)
The ALTA AccessPORT does work with 2009-2012 JCW Models (Hardtop, Convertible,
Clubman, Coupe, Roadster)
????? Chris, can you tell me why can it work on a 2011 JCW, and not on a 2011"S" ? Also whats required for stage 2 on a JCW? I have a Alta CAI, hot tubes, Intercooler, blow off spring upgrade, but stock JCW exhaust. Thank You

Read back a few posts, Chris covers what's needed for Stage 2. As far as the maps go, the AP comes pre loaded with various Stage 1,2 and 3 maps. You select/run which ones are applicable to your mods/Mini. Also, the Alta site covers the AP very well...everything from the Stages/maps, dynos, etc., as well as a video on how to install. Hope this helps.

When I ordered my AP from the website, I ordered from the JCW Coupe page, but the order showed the AP setup for an MCS on the checkout page.
I emailed them to say that I did in fact have a JCW. Chris called to confirm.
Apparently, the AP comes with maps for the MCS or the JCW, but not both.
Chris made sure that I had the proper maps.
Just an FYI.

After playing with the Stage 1 JCW maps, I think I have figured out what I would love to see.
I LOVE the linear map. I tried both the stock and the linear throttle Stage 1 92 octane maps.
What I find is that the stock throttle is far too touchy, just like the stock JCW is, to me. You touch the throttle and it has too much power too early on. It's hard to take off on an incline, for instance.
The linear throttle makes take off a breeze! It's very easy to take off smoothly. It's also nice that you get power as you push the throttle down, as it should be, again, to me.
What I would love to see is a close to stock power with the linear throttle in non-sport mode, then when you push the sport button, all heck breaks loose! Like the current linear throttle is all the time.
Just my wishes!

It is awesome to think we can go catless, "Legally"!

With your setup, you would run stage 1 FMIC.

You would see that if we made a custom map for a customer and he loaded it using the AP Manager. It's greyed out because it's not compatible with your MCS, but it shows up because the AP knows it's not a standard preloaded map.

Running stage 3 at 100*F Ambient temperature would be the same as running Stage 2 in 60*F Ambient temperature...
All FMIC does is keep your intake temps down. Your ECU will adjust for IAT's...
