Jan Brueggenn (RMW Tuning), based in California, is reckoned to be one of the best MINI tuners. He was last in this area in May for a 3 day tuning event at Swift Motorsports in Norwich, CT. I understand he may be thinking of holding another event in the Boston, MA area.

In May, the tuning prices were:

R53: $350.00 plus DYNO fee
R56: $600.00 Plus DYNO fee

The DYNO fee was around $100.00.

I stress that the above prices were the May prices and therefore they could be different the next time. I have included them here to give an indication of the ballpark cost.

If you would like to get your car tuned by Jan in the Boston area, please post a reply.

If there is sufficient interest in getting a tune I will contact Jan to see what can be arranged. No promises at this stage - just an idea.

 

If anybody's on the fence, I highly recommend you just do it.

I went to the Norwich session, and I am just flat-out impressed with the results.

 

Think R56 tune has come down a bit but not sure.

R53 owners if you got a pulley already a tune is a must!!

R56 owners check the many threads on NAM about the impressive gains with just a RMW tune!!

 

Boston is a bit far for me, but the NYC area would be great.

 

I would certainly consider it...pulley is in my garage waiting to be fitted.

 

I would love to get a tune but I am getting the turbo upgrade before I get a tune. Well more like at the same time

 

Not sure where you live, but if you need someone to install the pulley then Pete at Greasy's Garage is a great bet - tons of experience with MINIs

If I have the money, I'm onboard.

 

I might be interested in a retune by Jan. After the Norwich tune session 2 months ago, I upgraded my header, and had some exhaust work done.

I believe if you're going back to Jan for an updated tune, the cost is much less, correct?

 

NY tune would be nice..

 

No pulley for me I run an R56 and ya I am down in Florida. I was just making a generalized comment.

 

I'm in Canton, but usually do all work myself. The wife is already a little irked when packages come in from Way Motor Works or Alta so spending more $$ is out of the question

Thanks for the tip though...in case I win Powerball

 

I'm ready for a tune in PA

 

Shame you aren't in the Boston area. You could always drive up!

 

I could probably do Boston but I would prefer NYC area.

 

I've already got several people in the Boston area intersted, so it would be great if you could drive up. As it stands right now I don't have enough interested to make the event happen, but it has only been posted for a few days.

 

I switched from 50/50 mix to 100% Meth after my tune. I'd drive up there to have Jan work on it a little more.

 

I'm not modded up enough to warrant a tune, but I'm still having some tune envy here.

As an aside, where on MMC did you post this? I'm on that site regularly and don't recall seeing anything. I'd be surprised if you couldn't line up a few more MMCers, despite Jan's recent appearance down in CT.

 

I wouldn't worry too much about your car not being modded! From what I've read, Jan can pull power out of stock like it's no ones business. And every remote generic tune you need thereafter is something like 50 dollars (don't quote me on that, I'm going off of my bad memory). So if you get the tune on stock to hold you over, you can remotely get a generic tune for all the mods you get in the future. Then next time he comes around, you can get dyno tuned.

 

Also, hilarious that you're from Lowell,Ma. I work/go to school there.

 

Then there's also the minor issue of it being just a wee bit beyond my budget at the moment. Ah, well....

YTR -- Any pix of your ride? I'll have to be on the lookout for you!

Worksdriver, When it will be this tuning event?

 

Dates have not been decided. If there are enough people interested, then I will have to contact Jan and work around his availability.
