I'm looking for a mechanic close to the woodland hills area who can install a blow-off valve that I purchased.

Miniworx (west LA is closest to you but a couple socal locations) and MiniCorsa (north hollywood) are good/reputable mini shops....that should be a pretty simple diy tho, try it out!!

Wasn't even thinking up that way! I've honestly never been. How was the experience? Do you know the labor rates? I have family in Topanga and could use that shop and visit at the same time.

The shop was really cool, great people there. Labor rate was reasonable. They know their mini stuff !

Go to the M Shop in Eagle Rock. They're totally Mini and the best. Woodland Hills to Eagle Rock is only half an hour but worth it.

I got the Forge BOV. And then a few weeks later, I added a NM Intake to get the full swoosh sounds.

Have you sold the NM intake yet? If not have you notice a loss of torque in part throttle from a stop?
