how to tell if my mini is tuned 07 jcw

i recently purchased a 2007 jcw mini r56 upon looking over the car it had a handfull of mods that i did not notice upon buying it and some stuff that must have been removed befor selling the car. upon driving the car it seems quicker then other 07 jcws i have driven. was wondering if there is any way to know if the car has a tune on it. i have peaked at 20-21 psi before and i dont think that is normal being that boost cut is at 22psi any help would be appreciated!!

On my F56, I bought the JCW tune and there was a little badge under the hood. If it was a JCW tune, presumably done at the dealership, they could have installed a similar badge.

A MINI S peaks at 13psi and JCW is around 16psi. Since you are at 20psi it safe to say it’s tuned. Do you have a downpipe, is there a Check Engine Light?

it has the stock down pipe and intercooler and jcw exhaust could have been changed some of the stuff was taken off when sold so not 100% sure strut brace was gone but can see witness marks was wired for a boost gauge but was missing put same one back on plug and play has dv+ Diverter valve Alta boost tubes and a few other things didn’t think it was tuned being it has stock intercooler and down pipe but seems to be faster then other Jcw’s I have driven
