R56 Mods to get to 200hp +

Hi guys, new to the Mini Cooper game, any tips on trying to get my r56 up to 200hp+. I have a K&N cold air intake, along with a Magnaow exhaust. Thank you!

Cheapest and best bang for your buck would be to get a Manic tune.

+1 manic tune and a catless DP would be nice too but with the manic you should push a little more than 200

is yours a justacooper or a cooper S? non turbo or turbo?
with the turbo youre almost there at 189hp
with the justacooper without the turbo you have a long hill to climb from 121 hp...

An ECU Tune will be the best bang for the buck.

But an Intercooler and Downpipe will also net you some nice gains.

yup a tune will put you over the 200 mark since you have an 08 there are plenty of options search around a bit
