Thanks for that link. That's what I somehow missed and was looking for.

How you can add boost and reduce fuel consumption is unfathomable to me.

^that was my first thought. more boost and less fuel is a no go. Possibly it has a map for efficiency? but I'd think they would advertise it with selectible maps if that were the case.

I emailed Remus USA and asked if it was available. Here is their response:

The Powerizer you are looking for cost $699 usd. That specific unit you are looking for needs to be special ordered. We can add it to one of our existing orders when you are ready.
$699 - yikes

BMS is still the better deal and the product i'm very comfortable with. i don't see a Remus (or NM for that matter) forum. there's a whole forum dedicated to not just ours, but various other BMS modules.

hate to sound like i'm selling for them, but it's what i'm seeing when i compare BMS with the other tunes.

Yea that's what I'm leaning towards... Way Motor Works has one also not sure about specs on it. I think it's like 500 or so also.

I've never read any Mini owner say anything bad about BMS Burgertune, and the R56 forums are full of threads.

Their claims are a bit questionable at best. Price is way high. BMS is the only way to go IMO. Proven product. Fair price. Realistic power/torque gain claims. Claims that have been proven.

Yea I noticed that "up to" also...if it was true it would be awesome.

I need to bite the bullet and get the Burger.

The red has to be good for at least a +10 hp boost....that's just science...

This Remus box looks suspiciously like another piggyback from Germany; Racechip. Check this out: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...race-chip.html
