Are you sure it has a CHIP. I really don't know but would think it would have a programable engine management system, not a fixed, chip driven one.

They get the ECU reprogramed by Jan at RMW and http://www.bytetronik.com/. There is UNIchip but it is not recommended IMO.

This has been rehashed a million times....
The mini has a PROGRAMMABLE computer...and cannot be "chipped"...but rather "reprogrammed" either in place or shipping out the ecu....
Called getting "tuned", either custom on a dyno, or a more generic "canned"tune.
