Mounted mine just in front of the turn signal on the dash. I always wonder about the "naysayers", if they ever owned the SB and spent any significant time driving with it. After having 3 cars with and without the SB I find it hard to understand why someone wouldn't feel the difference.

It definitely does what it says it does.

I can 100% guarantee if anyone where to drive my ole R50 with and without it you'd most certainly notice the difference, and most likely leave it in Red mode.

It's seriously day and night.

I run mine all the time on green. I can not and will not run my MINI without it.

It's kin of fun to run it off and feel the difference then have a good chuckle about the ones who poo hoo it and have never been in a Mini with the SB, let alone even drive one with it.

I can't believe the JCW ecu tune didn't help with this throttle lag over the S. u would assume it didn't since the SB is the same for both cars.

Since I'm the only naysayer on this thread, I suppose you are referring to me when thinking that I've 'never been in a MINI with a SB, let alone drive one', correct?

I do have to admit that I'm a shameless hater. Not an ignorant one, but shameless.
