I guess I have been given some bad information. All of you guys are getting the JCW tuning kit for the 2011 MCS intalled and tuned by the dealer? I tried to buy the kit just last week but was waved off by my dealership; they said the calibration was not available yet. Was there a change by the factory that would make my car different? I believe it was built December 2010.
Any of you that successfully had this done care to PM me the telephone number to your dealership where they did the install?
I'm very confused.

Installed successfully by Hendricks of Charlotte. Only thing is installing the software changed the way the trip odometer is displayed. Its no longer on bottom of display next to odometer display but on top and you have to cycle with button to get to it.
Love the sound though, and coming back on on UNC Charlottes high speed test track(I-485) it REALLY pulls hard from 70 on up, you put your foor in it and you get to 90 REAL quick. Did notice some drone though when engine is under load
Am I glad I bought it ? Yep

Now that I have paid the Visa bill for it, it feels great and the pain is gone.

I got the tuning kit as well and had it installed last month. I did not have the exhaust manifold installed, because I was quoted 5.5 additional hours of labor (above the 3.0) they are charging to do the basic kit install. I was told at the time they had to remove the turbo to do this manifold install. Is that what you where told as well. If it had only been two hours I would have gone that route, but 5.5 is a bit much. Is there any way I might be able to see a copy of the invoice. I might go back to mine and ask him why he wants so much more labor. Thanks for the help

Bringing this post back from the dead because a very important question was missed
This is an essential part of the upgrade kit, for me at least, and is the only reason that I haven't purchased more power yet...
