ThumperMCS:
I thought that was the case and in reality the only reason to get better performance out of a Justa would be to get better gas mileage and perhaps a bit more low end umph
The "S" model is soooo much more performance/power oriented that if that was your goal then go buy one and end up saving time and money in the long run.

Received and installed my AP tonight. WOW! That is about the only way I can sum it up. I put off this purchase for a while due to cost and now wish I would have done it sooner. I am so very impressed with the quality of the product and the tune. Now I need to upgrade the suspension and brakes to match. I also can't wait to see what the addition of Alta's FMIC will do. Thanks again to the guys at Alta, keep up the good work.
Gas mileage is going to be similar to stock, unless you get crazy after installing it and turn into a lead foot!

Yes, tt will retain stock MPG. Once you do pulls and start flooring it, just using OTS Stg1 map, it will consume lots of fuel. 18-18.5psi is worlds of a different over stock.

Actually both of you are kind of right, anything over 1 is adding, but it's multiplied by 1, so 1.05 would mean that it's adding 5%, and .95 would be taking out 5%. 1.0 would not be adding anything. Hope that makes sense.
Pretty much, all North American MCS turbo models up 2010, and 08-11 JCWs.

The impatience probably has to do with the statement on their web site that states for the 2011MCS , "2011 Cooper S / Clubman S (PENDING 01/15/2011)". "Pending" and specifying a certain date does imply that it will happen near that date.

I need help Accessport with A/T Problem.
I received my accessport 3 weeks ago and when i installed it all the stage 1 tunes cause the same problem. Everytime the car changes gear i lose all power and then i get a surge of power. It feels as if someone is repeadetly jamming on the throttle. Im not being picky the car is actually undriveable with the Accessport installed, and on top of that my Rpms are very unstable when the car is idleing. The car even does this when im using the tiptronic. I was wondering if anyone had this problem I have a 2009 clubman A/T with an alta CAI and Turbo Inlet. When I uninstall the AP my car runs beautifully. And ive had the car looked at by a MINI mechanic who also said everything is fine Mechanically. I Talked to Jeff at Alta but hes never heard of it before. So please any advice would be really appreciated.-Thanks

Wow... Does this mean that the AccessPort only works properly with manual transmissions?
This surging throttle thing with the automatic sounds a little on the dangerous side!
So now I'm looking at AccessPort being compatible with North American MCS turbo models with manual transmission up to 2010, and 08-11 JCWs.
Yes? No?
