R50/53 Tune for my R53
#1
Hello I have my r53 2003. With 90kmiles on it. The car has an Alta 15%pulley and a A&E (CAI) and seems very noticeably that it has lost power or torque in the car... my brother has the same mini as me with only suspension mods done to his car and u can clearly see the torque is way more on sense with the pedal and is just "faster" then mine which dosent make since if my car has a pulley on the car.. i don't no if it makes it any faster but it's noticeably slower then his Mini Cooper . Wondering if it needs a tune ? And what a tune is and what they usually go for price wise for these cars..

Check the Bypass Valve....pretty common problem with the R53's. With the motor off......you should be able to reach down and move the little lever arm to open the bypass valve....when you let go of the lever the valve should snap shut with some force. If it's not snapping shut, the spring is broken and the valve needs to be replaced.
