Update original JCW tune in 2008 MC S?

I have a 2006 MC S convertible JCW which seems to accelerate sliwer than my 2009 MC S. I have read comments that indicated the tune software was not very good and left hp on the table. Is there an update available that actually improves performance?

You may be looking at a supercharged engine in the 2008 mini cooper s JCW convertible and a turbo charged engine in the 2009 mini cooper s.

Technically, those were different engine models and forced induction type


2008 R52 JCW - Supercharged
2009 R56 MCS - Turbocharged
