I don't believe I've seen such gains posted before. Then again are you going to drive your car with the hood open and an air blower in use? See the fine print.
I have this, with the dry filter. There is an optional top cover, which I don't have. The top cover probably cuts down noise, and cuts down hot air. But I wanted the noise- that's kinda all these things are- they're not known to make power on this car. And it's not much louder. Basically, I can hear the turbo now, especially the wastegate blowing off boost. It does sound cool, but it's not exactly a monster or anything, haha. There are videos on youtube showing back to back of some intakes, and I think NM and Cravenspeed have videos of theirs too.
AFE does have a dyno in house and that's where they pull the numbers from. I did a tour of their facility a while back and watched as they did a BMW 3 series and netted close to those numbers.
If you look at the dyno graph the peak gain is in the mid-range (4600rpm) and there is an even larger gain at 2600 rpm that they don't mention.
13hp on a turbo car with a bolt on is not unusual so I don't see why it would be any different on a Mini.

\But its not safe to drive with the hood open!!!
They also installed an exhaust, so the numbers are tainted.
I went with AFE because of the dry filter element (they do have an oiled version too though). I've had problems with K&N oil fouling sensors in the past. Maybe not an issue on these cars. Maybe I oiled too much. But I wanted to eliminate oil from the equation.

Yes, especially since the MAF sensor is so close to the filter.
