In talks with Frankenturbo and Manic. Hopefully we can make something work in the future.
Frankenturbo is a good turbo at a good price. Just all the tuners basically gave up on it. Idk why. Hope manic can make something happen.

Neuspeed just tuned an F21M last week, but it was an N14. The file is getting beta tested now via Motoring Magic in CA.

Manic is now tuning for 1320 Mini. Home of the 10 second mini! Hopefully they can bring us some performance parts for the R56!

Just put the Aquamist HFS-4 kit on my car. Ran Performance Map C on the SPS switch (Tuned for Meth). Car pulls STRONG! Definitely more than my existing 215whp 241wtq on the Cooper S turbo! Wonder what it would dyno at now

That's great! Was thinking of the same kit for next year. How much boost you able to hold with the map c on the stock turbo? Sent from my iPhone using IB AutoGroup

you're getting out of control here, son! =) as it turns out, i may end up keeping my mini. too bad i paid as much for 15k service on my other car as i would have paid on a manic tune! anyways, once i move up north, you're gonna have to let me know when you're in SF. i want to see what map C feels like.

Haha! The Manic tune at the time was special pricing for $300! Lol also yeah pushing the Mini hard everyday. Will show you soon. Nick said he needs to find a shop in Nor Cal for Manic because most people drove down from there. Lol

works for me. tell him to take his time, and offer intro pricing in July! =) actually, i might leave the mini for my mother-in-law to drive, and take her car as a city beater. wouldn't want to park the mini on the streets of SF. i'm looking to roll into a tdi of some sort sometime down the road. so looks like JB+ only for the time being.

Thats good. So, you are seeing 19-20 psi on map C and how much on Map B? Im really looking forward to the SPS switch! Still hasn't arrived... I will be dumping race gas in the car and testing out Map C as well.

Haha. Yeah they need to tune me a bigger turbo too
Also get something easy to park in SF streets. Golf TDI or something. Maybe used so you don't feel so bad when it gets dinged.
Hope you enjoy the city! JB+ is still an awesome product that transforms the Mini. Still to this day don't regret getting it.

Well it goes up and down. Was a cold night yesterday and saw like 18-19 psi. But pulled hard! No traction in 2nd! Need wider tires. Probably timing advance and other goodies.

(Went on private open street)
Damn the Mini did not struggle at all. So stable at high speeds and kept pulling.
Looked down at speedo and it said 146mph.
That's when I let off but it was almost top of 6th and it still had more in it. I'm pretty confident it will do 155-160mph. Nick removed the speed limiter for me

Manic will start development of an Intercooler and Exhaust for the R56. He said it's going to be hardcore!
