After discovering the problem, I dropped off the car at the dealer again (my 2nd visit within a week) https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=45991

Dealer replaced intake pressure sensor, manifold pressure sensor, they also checked bypass valve and operating smoothly.

Just got the car back from the dealer at 7am, and seems like the problem is still there (.5 bar max boost) my frustration with the car only increased, can anyone here refer me to a reputatable Mini's shop? I rather pay to get this fix.

 

Where in Socal are you located? Steve's Auto Clinic is very reputable, but is north of Los Angeles. See http://www.stevesautoclinic.com/.

If you need something more in the Orange County area, see Bullet Motorsports Speedlab. See http://www.bmsracecars.com. I've heard good things about them - my brother has his E30 M3 Club Racing car worked on there. If you'd like, you can tell Chris Welch, the owner, that Brad Strom recommended you call him.

 

nice color choice....


are those SSRs?

 

Any luck with contacting someone who can help?

 

Im going to visit Steve's shop on thursday.

 

Sounds good - keep us updated on your status. :smile:
